The Society's principal aim was establishing a national system of modern primary education on a non-denominational Christian basis that was acceptable to Catholics. It was involved in teacher training for men and women, the building of schools and the establishment of an inspectorate. From 1815 onwards, the Society received substantial government grant aid. An important part of its mission was the publication of greatly improved publications for the poor, who?s only previous experience of printed matter was the chap book. The present book appears to be extremely rare and is, moreover, complete, retaining all the specimens of finished garments in miniature, including examples of hosiery, straw plaiting, a corset, smock, woollen blanket, patchwork, darning samples, printed cotton and a linen sampler inscribed MODEL SCHOOL KILDARE PLACE 1836

It was subsequently bought in 1943 by Richard Papelien, an engineer and celebrated figure in the automotive industry.The house was constructed with brick and concrete, and the three lots for sale here are believed to have been designed and made specifically for the building.Marcel Breuer briefly studied art in Vienna before joining the Bauhaus in the 1920s. First a student and then a teacher, he became head of the celebrated furniture workshop. On leaving the Bauhaus, Breuer practised as an architect in Berlin before fleeing the Nazi regime and moving to London in 1935, where he stayed for two years. In 1939, he was invited by Walter Gropius (the founder of the Bauhaus and former teacher of Breuer) to work at Harvard University.Condition ReportAll pieces need restoration - losses to the veneers.
