I own this gorgeous book too, thanks to my friend Christophe !! --Previous Message-- : Thank you, Kasper and Mrs Diamond, for your : kind words. I am glad that you enjoy my : posts, and I am happy to share my knowledge : with the other posters and readers of this : board (and to be honest, I have learnt a lot : on this board too, so I am happy to give a : bit of reciprocity! ). : : I do not have an "archive for : everything", but I have saved a lot of : pictures along the years - on this board, of : course, and also on other forums (Foro : Dinastias is a very good one, for instance) : and on press agencies' websites (Getty, : Zimbio, Royalista...) or on newspapers : websites. I also regularly follow the jewel : auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's (and : less regularly, at other auction houses, : like Bonham's, Drouot...). The negative : point is that I have not always noted who : posted these pictures initially, so it may : happen that I post pictures that I saved : months or years ago, without giving due : credit to the original poster. : : I also have in my personal library several : interesting jewel-related books, that I : frequently quote. Regarding the French Crown : Jewels' currant-leaf parure, all the : information that I have quoted comes from : Bernard Morel's book les Joyaux de la : Couronne de France (France's Crown Jewels). : An absolute "must have" if you are : interested in French royal and imperial : jewels! : : : --Previous Message-- : : Dear Arthur : : Your knowledge, language, writing etc. I'm : amazed. It's an honor to have you as a : fellow member on this lovely board. : : Happy weekend to every one : --Previous Message-- : Dear Arthur, do you have an archive for : everything!? Your knowledge is amazing, and : I enjoy your posts tremendously :-D : : : : :
