Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-118) and index.This innovative and compelling study reconsiders Whistler's work from the context of his military service and his relationship with nature at the margins. Whistler came from a family of soldiers and engineers; his father, Major George Washington Whistler, was originally a US military engineer. Drawing and map making were important components of the military training that Whistler acquired as an officer cadet at West Point Academy in 1851-4 and subsequently in the Drawing Department at the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, where he attempted to realize his father's hopes that he would make engineering or architecture his profession. These influences in turn shaped Whistler's attitude towards nature, as expressed in works ranging from his celebrated London Nocturnes to his French coastal scenes all of which were created after Whistler moved permanently to Europe in 1855.- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903; Whistler, James McNeill, 1834-1903; Nature in art.;

- Dark angels : a novel / by Koen, Karleen.(CARDINAL)752818;
Alice Verney is a young woman intent on achieving her dreams. Having left Restoration England in the midst of a messy scandal, she has been living in Louis XIV{146}s Baroque, mannered France for two years. Now she is returning home to England and anxious to re-establish herself quickly. First, she will regain her former position as a maid of honor to Charles II{146}s queen. Then she will marry the most celebrated duke of the Restoration, putting herself in a position to attain power she{146}s only dreamed of. As a duchess, Alice will be able to make or break her friends and enemies at will. But all is not as it seems in the rowdy, merry court of Charles II. Since the Restoration, old political alliances have frayed, and there are whispers that the king is moving to divorce his barren queen, who some wouldn{146}t mind seeing dead. But Alice, loyal only to a select few, is devoted to the queen, and so sets out to discover who might be making sinister plans, and if her own father is one of them. When a member of the royal family dies unexpectedly, and poison is suspected, the stakes are raised. Alice steps up her efforts to find out who is and isn{146}t true to the queen, learns of shocking betrayals throughout court, and meets a man that she may be falling in love with{151}and who will spoil all of her plans. With the suspected arrival of a known poison-maker, the atmosphere in the court electrifies, and suddenly the safety of the king himself seems uncertain. Secret plots are at play, and war is on the horizon{151}but will it be with the Dutch or the French? And has King Charles himself betrayed his country for greed? The long-awaited prequel to Koen{146}s beloved Through a Glass Darkly, Dark Angels is a feast of a novel that sparkles with all the passion, extravagance, danger, and scandal of seventeenth-century England. Unforgettable in its dramatic force, here is a novel of love and politics, of romance and betrayal, of power and succession{151}and of a resourceful young woman who risks everything for pride and status in an era in which women were afforded little of either.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Charles II, King of England, 1630-1685; Catherine, of Braganza, Queen, consort of Charles II, King of England, 1638-1705; Courts and courtiers;
