Adam Koc

MP and journalist

In the March 1928 parliamentary elections, Koc was elected to the Sejm from the all-state list from the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government (BBWR) constituency.

Koc is claimed to be one of Piłsudski's colonels, which implies that he was one of the closest MPs to Piłsudski and that he was among the ruling class of the BBWR and Poland. Some authors question this statement: Andrzej Chojnowski writes that "Koc and Miedziński were somewhat removed (from the main positions) by Piłsudski",Antoni Czubiński claimed that Koc never belonged to that group.

As an MP from the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the government, he was an informal head of a group of BBWR deputies (from both houses of parliament) from the so-called Eastern Małopolska (i.e. territories of Lwów, Stanisławów and Tarnopol voivoderships) from 1928 to 1929, and again from 1930 on. At the same time, he was Director of Propaganda Section of BBWR, which, on 30 October 1929, helped him create a new pro-sanation newspaper – Gazeta Polska, where he briefly served as editor-in-chief.Epoka into Głos Prawdy newspapers (Koc directed the latter from January 1929).conservative parties,Centrolew influences, and partly to make a future coalition with the right-wing parties (mainly National Democracy), which was necessary to retain majority in parliament and government.

Even though he was an MP and formally ceased executing his military duties, he was still active in the military organizations where he had been participating for a long time. He was nominated as vice-director of the Riflemen's Association's Council. Koc became head of the Peowiak Association, uniting the veterans of POW, in March 1928.

Vice-minister of Treasury (1930–1935)


Adam Koc

Vice-minister of Treasury (1930–1935)

On 23 December 1930, Mościcki nominated the colonel for Vice-Minister of Treasury.Ignacy Matuszewski, later succeeded by Jan Piłsudski and Władysław Zawadzki. Koc controlled the organisation of stock exchanges and banks (both the central Bank of Poland and private financial institutions), debt and foreign financial relations, during the Great Depression. According to Janusz Mierzwa, Koc's biographer, he had been summoned to such a position despite his lack of experience, thanks to his humble and honest character. Piłsudski could not have trusted other people, as rumours of bribery in the Bank of Poland came to him.Stefan Starzyński.interventionist or even statist actions.

At the beginning of 1932, Koc became State Commissioner for the Bank of Poland.

French and British railroad loans

As Koc was responsible for international financial relations with his foreign counterparts, Koc actively engaged in discussions over a loan from France for finishing the so-called coal trunk-line - a strategically important communication railroad that was to connect Polish Silesia's coal mines with Gdynia, a fast-developing seaport.


Adam Koc

In mid-February 1931, Koc arrived to Paris to discuss the financial aspects of the loan, on behalf of the Ministry of Communication.French–Polish Rail Association was given rights to the parts of the line under construction (Herby Nowe – Inowrocław and Nowa Wieś Wielka-Gdynia), as well as to exploit the infrastructure on the Częstochowa-Siemkowice section (close to the line). The treaty was the first case when a part of railway line was given for use to a foreign private enterprise, a step lauded by the government (by e.g. showing the importance of Polish loans for Polish-French relations), but equally criticised by the opposition.

Koc vainly attempted to negotiate another loan from French officials – this time to electrify the Warsaw Rail Knot. He succeeded, however, while continuing talks with British partners. On 8 July 1933, a treaty between English Electric and Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co. Ltd., on one side, and the Ministry of Treasury, on another, was signed providing a £1.98 million loan (then approx. 60 mln zł).

The conditions of the loan were much more favorable than the French terms: the project had to be finished in 3–4 years, using materials made in Poland and building additional electrotechnical facilities as well as a power plant near Warsaw, using British capital.

The electrification of the Warsaw rail knot will not only have its communicational importance but as well it will positively influence the state of our industry and our working force. I am very content with my visit to London. It gave me the possibility to create new contacts and get to know a lot of influential people from the (British) industry and financial sectors in person. I reckon that these contacts which will be supported by both entities, will increase the mutual self-understanding and will allow achieving the further development of economic cooperation (...)

Another railroad modernisation loan was signed on 24 April 1934 – this time, with the Westinghouse Brake and Saxiby Co. Ltd., to install air brakes on Polish freight trains. The quote of the loan was the same £1.98 million.

International economic conference in London (1933)

Koc worked to get Poland out of the Great Depression. In June and July 1933, Koc was head of the Polish delegation to the international economic conference in London. Koc presented his views on combating the Depression. He claimed that the main target was to stabilise the currencies via trade liberalisation and customs decrease or abolition.gold standard, signing a "gold countries" declaration with France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium, on July 3. The declaration stated, "the will of retaining the free gold standard according to the today's parity [of currencies towards gold] in their own countries, as [written] in the existent monetary laws".

1935

Adam Koc in mid-1930s

1935 was a turning point for Poland. On 12 May 1935, Piłsudski died. To commemorate his death, Koc entered the Main Committee of Józef Piłsudski Commemoration.General Inspector of the Armed Forces (GISZ) became vacant (no longer occupied by Piłsudski), several candidates were proposed. Koc preferred Kazimierz Sosnkowski, but Mościcki chose Edward Śmigły-Rydz, a person who he thought was absent-minded, especially when compared to Sosnkowski.Walery Sławek, expecting him to take up power in the havoc caused by Piłsudski's death. Sławek, however, was unable to convince Mościcki to step down, despite evidence that Piłsudski had informally nominated him as his successor,GISZ group, attempting to counterbalance the increasing influence of another informal group – grupa zamkowa (the castle group, named after the residence of Mościcki – the Royal Castle in Warsawprotégé – Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski.Piłsudski's colonels group.

Legislative elections were due in September 1935. This was a smaller problem, as Koc was reelected for the second time, with an overwhelming 67,408 votes.

In mid-September 1935, he went to one of his last foreign trips as Vice-Minister in the US. His purpose was to gain a missionary loan (i.e. a loan from another country to introduce more money mass into the economy). Arriving in the US, Koc met with Polonia representatives and with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.New York Stock Exchange and some representatives from economic circles. Despite that, the main goal of the visit was not achieved.

When Koc returned to Poland, Walery Sławek's government was dissolved by Mościckiautarkist, while Koc belonged to the classical school, and the two could not coexist. Mościcki declined Śmigły's proposal to install Koc as Prime Minister.

Bank of Poland (1936)

On 7 February 1936, Mościcki nominated Koc as Head of the Bank of Poland.Pierre-Étienne Flandin and the Minister of Finances, Marcel Régnier. He also traveled to Great Britain to meet Montagu Norman, then Governor of the Bank of England.

Koc advocated support for profitable enterprises and close cooperation between the Bank of Poland and private financial institutions. As in 1933, Koc protected the gold standard and tried to protect the immense Polish gold reserves. While Koc was in office, the Bank of Poland was not supportive of stock and currency manipulations.

Mościcki summoned a meeting of various officials (including Prime Minister Zyndram-Kościałkowski, Rydz-Śmigły, Tadeusz Kasprzycki, Władysław Raczkiewicz, Roman Górecki, Juliusz Ulrych and Juliusz Poniatowski). Koc proposed a presidential decree to devalue the national currency, but this was rejected by Mościcki. The Head of the Bank of Poland was definitely against such solution, leading Koc to resign on 8 May.

The nomination of Koc as head of the Bank of Poland, while Kwiatkowski, his boss, was in office, is subject to controversy. Mierzwa claimed that neither Kwiatkowski nor Mościcki had a better choice,

Prehistory

With the death of Piłsudski, most right-wing politicians gathered around Edward Śmigły-Rydz. Walery Sławek lost support. On 30 October 1935, Walery Sławek dissolved the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government.

By that time, Koc was known as one of Śmigły-Rydz' closest cooperators, which was why the future Marshal chose him to supervise the creation of a new political entity. Miedziński took up that task in December 1936.

A title page of Gazeta Polska newspaper, featuring Koc in front of a microphone and the text of his declaration

Miedziński supported cooperation with right-wing parties. At the beginning of 1937, Miedziński wrote an article in Gazeta Polska, which was essentially a declaration by the Śmigły-Rydz camp that it would create a new political entity. In the same article, Miedziński advocated cooperating with the right (mentioning National Democracy).National Radical Camp Falanga (ONR "Falanga").Maciej Rataj and Jan Dąbski failed, apart from lack of consensus on the subject of Wincenty Witos's return and on a new electoral system.

Śmigły-Rydz decided to create his own draft. The draft paralyzed the already uneasy talks with the agricultural parties because it did not consider agricultural reform. Miedziński warned that he was about to quit the Sanation camp if nothing changed.


Adam Koc

To achieve consensus, in January 1937, Koc, Miedziński and Śmigły-Rydz met in Zakopane to provide corrections to the Marshal's project. After two days of discussions, Koc received a final draft, which contained some vague points on agricultural reform.

Creation

On 21 February 1937,1935 constitution's statement of the primary role of the state and civil solidarity. The declaration featured the need for military protection of the state (including militia heading the country) and maintaining distance from communism. An important part of this statement was the appeal to support Śmigły-Rydz. The program included passages about the importance of the Roman Catholic church. The declaration advocated tolerance towards ethnic minorities, excepting Jews.

Head of OZN

The creation of a new political entity (colloquially called "OZON", Polish for ozone) interested the government itself, leading Koc to visit the president three days after his declaration.

On 22 June 1937, a youth organization of OZN, Union of Young Poland (ZMP), was created. Formally, Adam Koc became director of it, but it was de facto controlled by Jerzy Rutkowski, his deputy. Eventually, on 28 October, Rutkowski took command.Bolesław Piasecki. It was widely condemned in Legionist and POW circles, for example, on the XIV General Congress of ZLP in Kraków.Stanisław Skwarczyński. The impulse to do so was Rutkowski's declaration to create an independent organisation and his resignation from OZN.

Assassination attempt

On 18 July 1937 at 10.15 p.m.,Józefów near Warsaw). The assassin was instead killed by his own bomb, as it exploded earlier than expected.


Adam Koc

The results of the subsequent investigation revealed that the culprit was Wojciech Bieganek from Różopole near Krotoszyn, together with his co-conspirator and brother, Jan, who was arrested the day following the failed attempt.

Plan for a coup d'état

According to some reports, the assassination attempt, as well as OZN's decreasing popularity, were a signal for both OZN and ONR "Falanga" to attempt a second military coup, on 25/26 October 1937 (days when Śmigły-Rydz was to be in Romania).St. Bartholomew's massacre" or "Night of the Long Knives", allegedly, with Śmigły-Rydz's support, which was supposed to physically eliminate the Sanational politicians opposing OZN.Aleksander Prystor; and Aleksandra Piłsudska, widow of Józef Piłsudski,

Supporters of the idea claim that a prelude to the action was Śmigły-Rydz's official proposal to change the government to install Witold Grabowski as PM (remembered for his hardline policies), an idea condemned by Stanisław Car, an influential Marshal of Sejm.Front Morges (Ignacy Jan Paderewski as leader), the delegalised Communist Party of Poland, leftist Sanation faction and the so-called "castle group".

Historians opposed to the notion object that no concrete evidence documenting the plan exists.

One of the main consequences of the coup was Koc's declaration that he had nothing in common with ONR "Falanga".

Resignation

Rydz-Śmigły claimed that Koc was unfit for ruling OZN. Koc was not a public person, unlike, say, Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski. This fact made it difficult for Koc to lead. Furthermore, Koc was "tired of quarrels with Kwiatkowski, his health was failing", and "he took up the party's position [treating it] as an order from his boss".fascism (mainly because of Piasecki's influence, despite claiming that "OZN and Falanga had nothing in common"Stanisław Skwarczyński.

On 25 June 1938, Koc's position as Commandant-in-Chief of the Association of Polish Legionists (ZLP) was terminated (although Koc had de facto quit ruling the organization by January 1938

Before World War II (1938–1939)

In Polish parliamentary elections in November 1938, Koc was elected to the Senate. He served on the Statute Commission of the Senate. Additionally, Koc was head of the chamber's Military Commission.

Koc was an employee of Bank Handlowy in 1938–1939, where he became vice-director on 30 March 1939.

In March 1939 Koc went to London for the second time for negotiations to receive an export credit for his employer. Unofficially, he was working to maintain Poland's image in the United Kingdom, which was devastated by the annexation of Trans-Olza the previous year. Koc met representatives from the government and economists to prepare for the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Józef Beck.sterling area accession, one of the conditions of the loan submission. Contrary to Kwiatkowski, Koc liked the idea of such a monetary union.

World War II (1939–1945)

Polish gold evacuation and escape to France

At the dawn of the September campaign, Koc was an advocate of the transfer of gold from Poland's reserves to finance the purchase of the military equipment needed by the Polish army. Two days after the conflict started, Koc asked Aleksander Litwinowicz, Vice-Minister of Military Affairs and chief of Army Administration, to be employed in the financial department of the General Staff, which the general accepted.Łuck, where he handed over the cargo to Ignacy Matuszewski and Henryk Floyar-Rajchman.


Adam Koc

On 10 September 1939, Koc was nominated by Mościcki as Vice-Minister of Treasury. The next day, Koc fled from Poland to Czerniowce. There, he, together with the ambassador of Poland in Bucharest, Roger Raczyński, tried to obtain permission to transit the gold via Romania. At the same time, Koc was ordered to terminate the British loan talks, in order to use the money for the military. A few days later, Koc moved to Bucharest, where he convinced Henryk Gruber, an important businessman, to send a request to the Powszechna Kasa Oszczędności (PKO) branch in New York City (or Paris) to pay him a 2 mln zł loan, which, apparently, was needed for the Army.

Work for Sikorski's government (1939–1941)

Minister of Industry and Trade and Minister of Treasury

While in office, Ignacy Matuszewski became ensnared in a scandal. The colonel, while making a report on the gold transport, was criticised for inappropriate financial expenditures on services and some other minor "unnecessary" purchases, e.g. of headache powder.


Adam Koc

Perhaps the worst attack, however, came from Stanisław Kot, Vice-PM in the Sikorski government and an ardent enemy to everything connected with the Sanation. Kot accused him of attempting to speculate on Polish loans, monopolizing the Polish export for Koc's own profit and influencing others in order to give more power to piłsudskiites. In addition, Kot tried to prove that Koc was wasting government money, for example, while giving £30 thousand in financial support to Aleksandra Piłsudska; Kot was also unhappy with the slow pace of Koc's work.

II Vice-Minister of Treasury

Koc then served as II Vice-Minister of Treasury, most probably at the insistence of Henryk Strasburger. The work with the new Minister of Treasury did not cause problems for either party.government-in-exile was located). The action's purpose was to increase the resources of the government and to develop the Polish army, while helping the refugees to find jobs (in Turkey, if not in France).

The disposition of Polish gold remained unresolved. The Bank of Poland wanted to transfer the gold from Beirut to either Great Britain or United States, a request which did not find support in the Treasury. Koc was later attacked by the Bank of Poland because he (presumably) was the only person in the ministry against gold evacuationVichy France colonies. The dispute cost Koc his position. Pragier suggests that Koc resigned "a few weeks before April 1940",Bordeaux, aboard on HMS "Nylon").Władysław Raczkiewicz, President of Poland, on London Paddington, a fact recorded in his diary.

Polish gold vindication

Already in Great Britain, after Raczkiewicz convinced Sikorski that Koc was innocent in the gold reserves loss,Dakar. As Vichy France was a puppet state of the Axis, it was impossible to get permission to transport gold outside the French colonies from either Nazi Germany or Italy. At the same time, the Bank of France possessed gold reserves in New York worth a few hundred million dollars. Thus, Koc decided to convince the US to confiscate the French reserves while seeking an immediate loan (since the Polish gold could not be returned yet).


Adam Koc

In mid-September 1940, Koc sailed out of Liverpool to the US, arriving in early October. There, he revealed that Belgian officials had also requested confiscation of the French gold. Koc was named head of the Gold Vindication Committee, a nomination protested by Henryk Strasburger, Minister of Treasury, and Bohdan Winiarski, a right-wing politician and then head of the Bank of Poland. In June 1941, Sikorski suspended the committee's activity.

No Depression thought that "key to the disc’s excellent musicianship is Manning’s collaboration with Joey Burns and John Convertino of Giant Sand and Calexico, whose multi-instrumental backup is typically innovative and free of grandstanding."Salon concluded that "unlike gloomsters like Nick Cave, Manning doesn't distance herself from the misery of the characters in her songs—she collapses that distance, moving right in like a zoom lens to show us what makes these people tick."Entertainment Weekly opined that "material by such fellow iconoclasts as Richard Thompson and ’50s satirist Tom Lehrer show off Manning’s considerable interpretive gifts."Lincoln Journal Star stated that "a take on the Deviants' 'First Line (Seven the Row)' gets much of its ominous tension from Manning's deadpan vocals and the Moog synthesizer."

The Hartford Courant praised "the desperate, evocative 'Isn't Lonely Lovely'. 'You wanted to be alone/Now you are ... it's a fine life, really,' she sings mournfully. She can't even convince herself of that, but Manning does prove yet again that she's expert at revealing the richness of sorrow, and digging through the shadows in the dark."


1212 (Barbara Manning album)

The Chicago Reader thought that Manning "sings with assured ease; and although there are some pretty flourishes, such as the mariachi horns on 'Stain on the Sun', the album favors spare, efficient production."Nashville Scene determined that "harmonically, the music resembles the garage folk-rock of the mid- to late ’60s; to post-punk ears, it comes off as an amalgam of ’80s neo-psychedelia and New Zealand guitar-pop."Chicago Tribune declared that "with horns and keyboards tastefully filling out the arrangements and the Giant Sand rhythm section of John Convertino and Joey Burns in peak form, Manning has made one of the strongest albums in her 12-year career."

AllMusic wrote that "the achievement of 1212 isn't simply that it's made up largely of Manning originals, but that chief among them is her most ambitious creation to date, a stunning four-part mini-rock opera known collectively as 'The Arsonist Story'."

Through education, Awqaf Africa's Open College seeks the causes of suffering, poverty, and Islamophobia and tries to eliminate them under the banner of Islamic teachings.

Studies

The Open College is also projected to provide, in particular, the African Muslims with studies and qualifications that enable them to serve themselves and their Muslim communities, offering them maximum flexibility, so that they can build a program of studies that fits both their personal and community needs and adapt accordingly. Awqaf Africa gives priority to those who serve or intend to serve the Muslim communities through teachings and preachings or administration and career development.


AWQAF Africa Muslim Open College

Studies at Awqaf Africa Muslim Open College are free, especially for the Africans (including the North Africans) and for people of African Origins (e.g. the Caribbeans) in an effort to help people develop their spiritual uplifts, to become a teacher, to foster their career development for the Muslims, or to serve as a Da^'i, offering them a true learning experience, supporting them as they study their first course with Awqaf Africa and appealing they intend to serve the Muslims and their interests - appreciating that a prospect of studying with Awqaf Africa could be so exciting that students overlook the sacred needs to be devoted to the amiable values of Islam.

The college coordinates a number of educational and training programmes for several Muslim portals including EsinIslam.com and IslamAfrica.com.

Alfred Haag

Alfred Haag (15 December 1904, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Württemberg – 8 August 1982) was a member of the Youth movement of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the small Württemberg town of Schwäbisch Gmünd in the 1920s, he married another communist; Lina Haag in 1927. He was a volunteer editor for the Sueddeutsche Zeitung workers in Stuttgart, later he was elected a member of the regional parliament for the KPD until Hitler's rise to power in 1933. Both Alfred and Lina were soon arrested, and both spent many years in prisons and concentration camps.

Alfred was first in the Upper Kuhberg concentration camp near Ulm until it was dissolved in 1935, then at the Dachau concentration camp until 1939, when he was transferred to the Mauthausen concentration camp. Lina was released in 1939, and having been reunited with their daughter, she moved to Berlin and obtained work. She visited the HQ of the SS almost daily to petition for her husband's release until 1940, when she finally, and incredibly, obtained permission for an audience with Heinrich Himmler and he secured Alfred's release from Mauthausen. He had survived physical torture whilst detained there and at Dachau.

Alfred was soon afterwards drafted into the Army and sent to the Eastern Front, and Lina and their daughter were bombed out of their home in Berlin. Lina was transferred to work in a hospital in Garmisch. Whilst there she wrote a memoir of her experiences in the form of an extended letter to Alfred, not knowing if she would see him again. It was eventually published in 1947 as 'A Handful of Dust' or 'How Long the Night' in English.

Alfred was taken prisoner by the Red Army and eventually released in 1948, when they were reunited once again and lived together in Munich until Alfred's death in 1982. Alfred worked until his death as advocate for the victims of the camps in the Union of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime (VVN-BdA). For many years he was its Bavarian regional chairman. In 2007, Lina was given the Dachau Award for Courage. She lived in Munich until her death in 2012.

Alonso de Pacheco y Herédia

Alonso de Pacheco y Herédia was acting governor of New Mexico in 1643, following Francisco Gomes and succeeded by Fernando de Argüello.

Career in Santa Fe de Nuevo México

Pacheco was sent to New Mexico to punish people suspected of having killed Governor Luis de Rosas. He set foot in the provincial capital in the fall of 1642. However, he hid the reasons that brought him to New Mexico, since the reasons were confidential. He developed an investigation to find the culprits, which took him several months.

On July 21, he ordered the assassination and the beheading of the eight soldiers he believed they were the leaders of the revolt. After that execution, he granted a pardon to the rest of the rebels of Santa Fe de Nuevo México. However, he ordered them to obey the policies of the Crown, otherwise he would kill them. In addition, he placed the heads of those executed throughout the square of the provincial capital so that the population would remember what would happen to them if they did not obey him.attorney general, participated in Pacheco's trial, as he led witnesses who supported the friars to testify.

Pacheco was appointed Governor of New Mexico in 1643. He only governed New Mexico for a short period of time, less than a year. However, during that period of time, he carried out policies that had a major impact on the population. In August of that year Pacheco sent a group of soldiers to the Santo Domingo region to order the Indigenous to oppose the friars.


Abies mariesii

Maries' fir leaves

Abies mariesii (Maries' fir, in Japanese, オオシラビソ or アオモリトドマツ, Ōshirabiso, or Aomoritodomatsu) is a fir native to the mountains of central and northern Honshū, Japan. It grows at altitudes of 750–1,900 m in northern Honshū, and 1,800–2,900 m in central Honshū, always in temperate rain forest with high rainfall and cool, humid summers, and very heavy winter snowfall.

It is a medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree growing to 15–30 m tall with a trunk diameter of up to 0.8 m, smaller and sometimes shrubby at tree line. The leaves are needle-like, flattened, 1.5–2.5 cm long and 2 mm wide by 0.5 mm thick, matt dark green above, and with two white bands of stomata below, and slightly notched at the tip. The leaf arrangement is spiral on the shoot, but with each leaf variably twisted at the base so they lie flat to either side of and above the shoot, with none below the shoot. The shoots are orange-red with dense velvety pubescence. The cones are 5–11 cm long and 3–4 cm broad, dark purple-blue before maturity; the scale bracts are short, and hidden in the closed cone. The winged seeds are released when the cones disintegrate at maturity about 6–7 months after pollination.

Maries' fir is very closely related to Pacific silver fir A. amabilis from the Pacific coast of North America, which is distinguished by its slightly longer leaves (2–4.5 cm) and larger cones (9–17 cm long).

Discovery

Maries' fir is named after the English plant collector Charles Maries (1851–1902), who introduced the species to Britain in 1879.

According to the account in "Hortus Veitchii", whilst waiting at Aomori on the main island (Honshū) for a steamer to convey him to Hakodate on the island of Hokkaido:


Abies mariesii

Maries noticed a conifer new to him growing in a garden, and learnt that it could be found in quantity on a neighbouring mountain. He went in search, and had reached a height of 3,500 ft., when it became obvious that the bamboo scrub formed an impassable barrier on that side of the mountain, and he reluctantly had to turn back, although the object of his search could plainly be seen. The following day he again made the ascent, but this time from the north side, and he succeeded in procuring cones of a new species, since named by Maxwell T. Masters, Abies mariesii.


Abiel Stevens House

The Abiel Stevens House is a historic First-Period house in North Andover, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house is unusual for retaining its basic 18th century form with minimal alteration. The house was built in 1710 by Abiel Stevens, one of Andover's early major landowners. The major alterations since Stevens built the house include a late 18th-century lean-to added to the back of the house, and the front porch, which dates to the same time.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Andy English

Andy English (born 1956) is an English wood-engraver and educator who pioneered the use of the Internet to teach a wider audience about wood-engraving and how to do it.

Biography

Andy English was born in Denver, a small village in Norfolk, England in 1956. He studied Geology at the University of Reading and taught in Cambridge, England from 1979 - 2006 where he was widely respected. Self-taught as an artist, he drew and painted since childhood but, in 1991, he started to engrave on endgrain wood. This immediately became his main artistic output. A 2008 article by Paul Wheatley describes how, after trying various printmaking methods, English engraved for the first time and found it to be so natural and comfortable that he could only describe it as remembering a process rather than learning it.

Andy was elected to the Society of Wood Engravers in 1997. He is also an elected member of the Cambridge Drawing Society.

While studying for a master of Arts at the University of London in the early 1980s, Andy researched the use of online information systems. He was an early user of the Internet in Britain and, always the educator, developed a website that explained how wood engravings are created, introducing many people to this method of printmaking for the first time. The presentation of the material has gradually been refined over many years and his new website has many photographs of the process to aid students of engraving.

Andy is a notable engraver. His detailed images often contain visual puns and hidden elements. Typical subjects include gardens, wildlife and childhood. He has illustrated many books, including two for Barbarian Press of Canada. "Hoi Barbaroi", the 25th anniversary biography of the press describes Andy as "an enthusiastic, congenial & Intelligent Illustrator".

Andy English is also an important designer and engraver of bookplates. Paul Weaver describes him as working unhurried and in detail through a lens before printing the bookplates in a Victorian handpress.
