About this treasure:Filled with love this beautiful collectors piece would be a wonderful addition to any jewellery lovers collection. Created in 1845 marks the passing of cherished loved one, this mourning ring truly a captured movement of love in time.
Outside the band we have fine intricate enamelling ‘In memory Of in striking back against a buttery 18 carat gold band. Within is the wonderful hand engraved dedication ‘Jne Cottingham died 27 March 1845 aged 77‘.
This would have been created soon after Jonathanss death to commemorate his life and to be worn and remembered by a loved one. 77 is also a remarkable age for the era when the average life expectancy was around 40. This, coupled with the high quality of mourning ring, indicate he was a man of high status.
We not only love the story behind this ring, but we also love how it epitomises antique sentimental jewellery. Mourning jewellery became popular in the Georgian and Victorian era as a way of remembering those who have passed. They are testament to the adoration of one to another. They have always been cherished by later generations and have certainly seen a huge revival in recent years. Mourning jewellery can be found in a few styles, often filled with sentimental images, dark enamelling and unique engraving.
The entire ring is created in 18 carat gold. And with a width of over 7.6 mm this is a rare and particularly lovely antique ring.
This jewel is entirely original and in remarkable condition considering its age. The use of the very best material, ornate fine features and attention to detail is testament to the love and craftsmanship!

Historical Storytelling at its Finest
Format: Hardcover
This book is simply superb!
This is storytelling at its finest. The illustrations pull you deeper into the personal history of historic events, and they manage to fool your senses into believing you might actually be there. My eyes lingered on them, and I found myself flipping back to previous panels to review them for subtleties I missed the first time.
I teach middle school history, and I've been yearning for a book that would dare to cover the scope and breadth of the American Civil War. The authors have written a page turning graphic novel that will appeal to all ages, and will grip even those with a brief knowledge of U.S. history.
This should be on the reading list of every American history class, and in the library of every school in the country. The history is first rate.

Love this book
Format: Hardcover
Love this book! Super entertaining. It doesnt provide a detailed account of yhe events of the American Civil War, but it gives you the important parts of the war and illustrates them. Really great to read. I needed it for a class and I could have borrowed it from a friend, but I found it here for a great price and I don't regret buying it.

Beautiful, Evocative, and Sharply Written
Format: Hardcover
Battle Lines is one of the best books I've read, in any genre, in a long time. It's beautiful, evocative, and sharply written. The stories it tells are layered and complex, but presented in an engaging way. You can read it in one sitting or enjoy the nuances and details of the images and words more slowly. Either way, it's well worth it.

Graphic Illustration and Textual Accompaniment Bring the Civil War into Close Focus
Format: Hardcover
Brilliant graphic and textual overview of an incredibly massive and complex story. By zeroing in on specific moments and symbols, the whole becomes approachable and deeply affecting. Highly recommended for students (middle school through college) and anyone else motivated to gain a better understanding of one of our nation's darkest times.

A beautiful and affecting book
Format: Hardcover
A beautiful and affecting book. The civil war is, at least to me, deeply familiar, but this book focuses on the personal, and conveys with a painful immediacy the ways that the horror of this conflict infiltrated and transformed the day-to-day existence of our not-so-distant ancestors. I was struck as I have never been before by the degree to which the appalling, unprecedented violence of the conflict was "just around the corner" for familiar and modern-seeming Americans.
