PLAYFAIR, John Illustrations of the Huttonian theory of the earth. Edinburgh and London Printed for Cadell and Davies (London), and William Creech (Edinburgh) 1802 8vo., xx, 528 pp., With errata. Contemporary full calf. First edition of this monumental work which in essence established the modern age of geology. Playfair believed, and rightly so, that his friend James Hutton's Theory of the Earth was the geological equivalent of Newton's Principia, but that it must be restated and elaborated on without its author's religious ideology and heavy prose. Playfair set out to discover what evidence existed in the earth itself that would shed light on the history of the planet, and sets forth his findings with an orderly, logical arrangement and remarkable precision: "...for precision of statement and felicity of language, it has no superior" (Geikie).

RSA Playfair Project A competition winning Project to link the Royal Scottish Academy with the National Gallery of Scotland, with a new Concourse Level under the existing Mound, in Edinburgh. The Mound is a World Heritage Site and the buildings themselves are Grade A Listed. The new Concourse Level will provide a new shop, restaurant suite, lecture theatre and educational rooms linking to both the existing Royal Scottish Academy and National Gallery buildings with two new public staircases and lifts. It will provide new IT exhibition spaces and additional plant areas to serve these as well as adding a new entrance, circulation and reception areas from Princes Gardens East. Phase 1, consolidation of the existing RSA foundations, was completed prior to the competition in 2000; Phase 2, the conservation and refurbishment of the existing RSA building, started on site in May 2001 and is due to be completed in 2003. Phase 2A, the new underground link and connection to the National Gallery runs concurrently with work starting in 2002 and finishing in 2004. Drawings of the Project exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in July 2000 won two awards; The AJ Bovis Lend Lease Non Member's Award and the Worshipful Company Of Chartered Architects Measured Drawing Prize.

John Singer Sargent's Mrs. William Playfair Frontpage What's New Thumbnails Index Refer This Site Mrs. William Playfair nee Emily Kitson, 1841-1916 John Singer Sargent American painter Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA Oil on canvas 59 x 38 in. Jpg: Traditional Fine Art Online From: Traditional Fine Art Online Mrs. William Playfair was exhibited to great acclaim at the Royal Academy in 1887 and at the 1888 Paris Salon. The sitter (nee Emily Kitson, 1841-1916) is shown wearing a sumptnous yellow satin gown and a fur-lined, dark green velvet cloak. Set against an abstract background of deep red, she is ready to step out wearing distinctive jewels and carrying a fashionable fan and evening bag. As the fully mature forty-six-year-old wife of England's most prominent obstetrician and the mother of five children Emily Playfair appears solid and secure in her position and wealth. Yet she is also shown by Sargent as disarmingly relaxed, smiling with twinkling eyes and an open moutha pose unusual for a woman of her social standing."
