The tumultuous years of the French Revolution left France’s prestigious decorative arts industries poised on the brink of ruin. It was not until after the fall of the monarchy and the ascendancy of the Consulat and Empire under Napoleon that they began to recover so that by the middle of the nineteenth century they stood at the pinnacle of their achievement. This book is the first in depth study of the renowned porcelain works at Sèvres during its virtual rebirth under the 47 year direction of the scientist, teacher, and administrator Alexandre Brongniart. Some 110 working drawings from the Sèvres Archive are reproduced here for the first time in color. They celebrate the high skill of the artists whose work often documented contemporary events in France. There are table services in the 'Egyptian' and 'Etruscan' taste as well as individual pieces that recall Napoleonic military campaigns. There are also exquisite Neoclassical decorations using motifs such as birds, butterflies, and insects that reflect the century’s early fascination with the natural sciences. The repertoire of nineteenth century eclecticism is evident in the output of Sèvres from the revival of Gothic and renaissance motifs to the outburst of naturalism. Eleven essays by leading authorities assess this dynamic period.

As the Cold War gains momentum, the world comes dangerously close to a nuclear holocaust during the Suez Crisis… Ushered into power by a military coup, the boldness of Egyptian President Nasser knows no bounds. His once great nation is destitute, his people without hope. To set things right, he will risk all and defy the world. He will take back what rightfully belongs to Egypt – the Suez Canal. Handpicked to succeed Churchill, Prime Minister Eden is a frail, unscrupulous man filled with vengeance and determined to return the British empire to its former glory. He is only too happy to conspire against a former colony and overthrow Egypt’s arrogant tyrant. Brigette Friang, a dogged journalist, uncovers a secret document that would shock the world – the Protocol of Sèvres. To expose it is treason; to stay silent means war. Will America’s allies unintentionally start World War III? Based on historical events and real people, the 5th novel in the Airmen Series, Sevres Protocol, is filled with intrigue and suspense. If you like history and action-driven war stories, you’ll love Sevres Protocol.
