Photo: 28.6 x 21.7 cm Parchment/Velum Paper?: 45.5 x 41.1 cm Board: 64 x 51.1 cm Baron Adolph Sigismund de Meyer is seen by many as the founder of fashion photography. Later in his career he was to work for both Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. In London he moved comfortably in the highest levels of society and photographed many of the celebrities he met. His style—strongly influenced by Tonalist and Impressionist painting—was extremely fashionable at the turn of the century. He would manipulate negatives and prints and often use a soft focus lens. Detail was stripped away and the quality of light on surfaces, as well as the modulation of shadows, was almost as important to his style as depicting the sitter.

Title A name given to the resource Bell-Field Description An account of the resource Federation Handbells, on loan from Museums Victoria, in a display created by postgraduate students from the Melbourne School of Design, for the exhibition How it plays: Innovations in percussion, 2019. The postgraduate students describe their work:<br /> <blockquote> <p><em>Bell-Field</em> builds upon the concept of the soundscape, creating an atmosphere that welcomes and captivates. Melbourne School of Design (MSD) Master of Architecture students from Studio 18 channeled these ideas to create a field where each of the 24 Federation Handbells would sit on top of a bespoke stand designed by the group. Surrounded by the handbells on display, visitors are invited to strike the handbells as they move through the space. This interaction causes sand to fall through an hourglass below, pairing each ring of a handbell with a visual display.</p> <p>In the design of each stand, students leveraged their knowledge of digital fabrication techniques and the facilities available at the Fabrication Lab within the MSD. Every component was fabricated and assembled in-house by the group. A slim black steel frame houses a bronze tinted glass cylinder filled with coloured sand which corresponds the note with its respective Boomwhacker colour. The stand rests within a geometric plywood box which opens to store the components of the stand when it is dissembled. The geometric profile is derived from a radial tessellation stemming from the center of the room. At the bottom lies a concrete base of similar profile, providing stability to the installation. The handbell completes the stand by holding the pivoting hourglass in place.</p> </blockquote> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bell-Field display stands created by students of Studio 18, Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, 2019.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Ormond Professor Bernard Heinze to Percy Grainger, 25 September 1936, and accompanying photograph of the Grainger Museum, University of Melbourne. Description An account of the resource In this letter, Heinze shares an image of the Grainger Museum at the completion of its first phase, with Percy Grainger. Grainger had participated in early design of the Museum, but was obliged to leave the project with the local team of architects, when he returned to his American home base. Interestingly, Heinze called the museum the "Rose Grainger Museum" in this letter, referring to Grainger's original intentions for the museum to be a memorial to his mother.

Title A name given to the resource Portable harmonium (reed organ) Subject The topic of the resource Instruments Description An account of the resource Wood, ivory, felt, metal. Grainger wrote in 1929, ‘If I were forced to choose one instrument only for chamber music – I would choose the harmonium (reed-organ) without hesitation; for it seems to me the most sensitively and intimately expressive of all instruments… No other chord-giving instrument is so capable of extreme and exquisitely controlled pianissimo… Both in chamber-music and in the orchestra it provides the ideal background to the individualistic voices of the woodwinds.’ This portable harmonium was probably used by Grainger for Free Music experiments, as some of the keys have been adjusted and there is string tied to some of the black keys.
