Josephine Ryan: French Home

French Home


Description

French Home explores the elements that combine to create spaces that have an identifiably French feel; showing the architectural details that enhance the framework of each room, the textures and the colour palette that flatter various styles of furniture, and exploring the options for lighting, mirrors and paintings. By exploring real homes that deftly synthesize these elements, French Home examines the sophisticated alchemy of a look that can be either lush and complex, or simple and pared-down.

William Dampier [1651-1715] is the most remarkable seaman that England produced in the century and a half between Drake and Captain Cook. They each circumnavigated the world once; Dampier did so three times. He commanded the first government-funded voyage of discovery with a specific mission to report on matters of government and science. A good seaman, but a bad commander, he spent most of his life as a privateer, buccaneer, or pirate, and his French Home download book career culminated in the capture of the great treasure galleon sent each year from the New World to Spain. But he was also a great writer, author of the first major English travel book, 'A New Voyage Round the World', and of scientific treatises and descriptions of natural history. His expedition to Australia was in many ways disastrous, with his ships being lost; but the book that came out of it, 'A Voyage to New Holland', is rich in evocative accounts of the peoples and places he had found or visited.
