Chris Mullen,

just had a brief look over your site. What a brilliant and unusual resource. I'm very pleased to have found it (through a link to Michel Eugène Chevreul in Wikipedia).

Thanks again, I will spread the word.

Dear Mr Mullen,

I found a fascinating caricature of Edward Elgar on your site. I don't suppose you know who the copyright owner is and how they might be contacted?Many thanks and best wishes

Dear Mr Mullen
I hope your email still works! I have just come across your website on the Book and fell on the 1886 Whistler catalogue with delight- fascinating! I hope that catalogue is somewhere safe! it is wonderful to have the reaction of someone who was actually at the show. I have a postgard student studying Whistler frames, and she is going to be bowled over when she sees that frame sketch. ...we have a huge Whistler collection; currently I am working on a catalogue raisonne of Whistler's etchings. With best wishes

Dear Chris

Congrats on your revamped Falter/Crockwell/Dohanos pages - they look truly superb and pay proper respect to these unsung heroes.

Hello there,

I am a producer at the BBC, I'm putting some time into film-making and considering doing some academic study. In my own time, I'm looking at Tati's work, particularly Mr Hulot's Holiday.

I noticed a reference on your site to this which purely said - Spatial and Temporal Discontinuity  Jacques Tati and the 360 degree space, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday (1953).

I wondered if you could expand more on this or if you've any other literature or links relating to Hulot you could pass my way? There's a lack of literature on Hulot, so anything would be of interest!!

thanks for your great side which I recently explored.
I'm interested out of which book you got the side of Fleur Cowles researching in Italy for Flair. Maybe you can tell me the title of it. I really would appreciate that.

With kind regards,

Dear Chris Mullen,

Just to say THANKS for such an interesting site (which I have only recently discovered).
Long may it live and evolve.
Must have been a fascinating course.

Dear Dr Mullen

Thank you so much for your website. A friend had likened my illustrations to those of Nicholas Bentley of whose work I was ignorant. A Google search brought me to your site and I'd soon spent a long time poring over the work of Bentley and illustrators as Ionicus and John Ryan (fondly remembered from my Dad's Eagle annuals).

I hope to spend longer in future browsing the site- it seems a truly wonderful resource.

All the very best

hello
I found the book Yvonne B.Charlot, Tea-Cup Fortune Telling on your web site and tried to find on the web a site that would sell it. However no sites seem to have any record of it and I wondered if you have any information on any way possible in buying my very own copy.

Any help would be most grateful.

Hi,
It is my understanding that when Pynson published SHIP OF FOOLS in 1509, the book contained a graphic representation of the Pynson coat-of-arms. Is there any way that you know of that I can get a facsimile or
scan of that page ?

Hi,

I used a download application to download the a page from your site
and its images (the Vernon Hill calendar page). Or so I thought - I
let it go overnight, and it's downloaded most of your site.

Let me know if this cost you anything as far as bandwidth expenses
and I'll reimburse you. Looks like I managed to download about 800MB
before I just now stopped it.

Great site, by the way! Regards, Josh McMichael 10.06.2006

Dear Chris,
I am a mature student at the University of Central Lancashire and have just finished my 2nd year of a BA(Hons) in Antiques and Design Studies. I recently 'discovered', and was intrigued by,  Talwin Morris, and have had approved the idea of doing a piece of work on him for my Honours project next year. I have recently come across the 'fulltable' website which I assume is yours, and the VTS website
 
Kind regards

Dear Chris,
I am the exhibitions manager for the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts at the California College of the Arts. We are currently working with an artist-in-residence named Michael Stevenson whose project involves replicating a rare machine called a Moniac. The Moniac was developed in the early 1950s and used for a brief period to teach basic economic principles. A wonderful diagram of it is reproduced in the March 1952 issue of Fortune (p. 101) which you've reproduced on your website (the link I've attached below).

I have asked Fortune about obtaining permission to reproduce this diagram on the website for the Wattis Institute. However, they tell me that they do not hold copyright permission for illustrations and photographs reproduced in their magazine. May I ask you how you went about obtaining permission, if it was even needed, for reproducing this image on your site?

I appreciate any insight you might have with this unique request.

With best regards,

Chris, Thank you so much. Yes, one of the entrances still looks exactly
like that. We will certainly send you a picture when we are done. How
would you like your credit to read?
