Paris – das sind Notre-Dame, der Eiffelturm, der Louvre, die zahllosen Cafés und Bistros … und mehr als 28 Millionen Touristen pro Jahr. Doch auf den ungewohnt stillen, fast zeitlos erscheinenden und dabei hochromantischen Bildern des Münchner Fotografen Christopher Thomas findet man keinen einzigen von ihnen. Er fotografiert in den frühen oder späten Stunden des Tages, wenn er fast allein ist mit dieser Stadt. Auf seinen Bildern kann der Betrachter ein ganz neues, nie gesehenes Paris entdecken: eine Stadt der Träume, der Wunschbilder und nicht zu stillenden Sehnsucht. Die im Zeitalter der Digitalfotografie fast anachronistisch erscheinende Polaroid-Technik, mit der Christopher Thomas arbeitet, verleiht den Bildern die Anmutung einer längst vergangenen Zeit, die Aura von wertvollen antiken Preziosen. So wie sein berühmter Vorgänger Atget, der Chronist des Paris’ um 1900 und Begründer seines fotografischen Mythos’, vermittelt Christopher Thomas heute im 21. Jahrhundert ein ganz neues, eigenes Bild dieser alten und vielleicht schönsten europäischen Stadt.0Exhibition: Bernheimer Fine Art Photography, Munich, Germany (10.-11.2014).

Paris Stadt des Lichts

Bruno Barber

This, the latest in the series of MoLAS monographs on the religious houses of medieval London, considers the London Charterhouse, a Carthusian monastery founded in 1371, just outside the walled city. The volume is primarily intended to report on the 1998 excavations in Preachers Court, part of the Inner Court of the Charterhouse, but also incorporates a reassessment of Grimes' post-war work, and the results of numerous small excavations, evaluations and watching briefs conducted within the monastic precinct between 1998 and 2000. The result is a new, fully illustrated account of the development of the entire monastery, with a particular focus on its service areas. Separate discussions examine the pre-monastic use of the site as one of London's Black Death cemeteries, diet within the monastery, the monastic economy, and the impact of the sub-urban location on the reclusive Carthusian order. Evidence for the post-Dissolution period - the wider setting of the 16th century mansion and the hospital established in 1613/14 - is also examined, in this look at one of London's most fascinating historic sites.

This book publishes the archaeological work undertaken for the Jubilee Line Extension Project in the 1990s and a series of other archaeological investigations in and around the Palace of Westminster. It starts with the origins of the settlement on Thorney Island over 7000 years ago and discusses the evidence from the later prehistoric, Roman and Saxon periods before describing the development of the palace up to the fire of 1834. Important aspects of the work are the varying environmental conditions around the island and the integration of antiquarian observations, providing an up-to-date synthesis of current knowledge.
