Goldmisth’s hallmarks, particularly city ones used within the territory of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, have been the object of interest of numerous scholars since the late 19th century. The reason being that not only do they facilitate the attribution of definite historic silverware pieces to a definite goldsmithery centre, but they are also helpful when the results of stylistic analysis prove too wide too define a more precise time of their creation. Puncheons used to stamp city hallmarks on silver, as is proven by the preserved historic pieces, depending on the intensity of use and degree of wear, were in service either for a shorter time: a year or several years, or a longer time, sometimes some dozen years. For this reason it is hard or almost impossible to ascertain which Guild’s Elder, alternating yearly, authorized to stamp the city hallmark, actually marked the product. The problem disappeared only when in Gdansk the duty to stamp a peculiar countersignature, namely an additional control sign, was introduced in 1730. The hallmark presented in the paper is a previously unrecorded version of the city of Gdansk’s hallmark, whose use can now be dated to 1683–1688, though it was in actual use for a shorter time. However, already with such-defined chronology of the use of hallmarks Nos. 5A–E, a more precise dating of historic pieces of Gdańsk goldsmithery is possible.

Agoraphobia emerged as a named disorder in the 1870s. Since then a wide variety of models ‐ both clinical and non‐clinical ‐ have been devised to explain it. This paper describes four of these models to demonstrate and explore the significance for mental health promotion of their different conceptualisations of agoraphobia in relation to the city, to public space and to the individual. Of particular interest is the shift in the gendering of agoraphobia: while late 19th century accounts tended to feature men, by the mid 20th century the archetype of someone who experiences agoraphobia had become female. The implications of this variance and subsequent decisions about intervention and cure, it is argued, demonstrate the importance of conceptualisation in debates about mental health promotion.

ResumoPonta Grossa (PR) foi fundada em 1862 e se localiza na divisa entre o Primeiro Planalto Paranaense (Embasamento Cristalino) e Segundo Planalto Paranaense (rochas ígneas e sedimentares da Bacia do Paraná), apresentando um patrimônio urbanístico especial, construído a partir da geodiversidade local que é característica. Um levantamento das rochas utilizadas na urbanização do centro antigo do município foi realizado, a partir de um mapa de 1920 e pesquisa bibliográfica correlacionada ao levantamento de campo. O conjunto histórico se constitui de um complexo ferroviário instalado em fins do século XIX, praça matriz e arredores, conforme o mapa que apresenta os limites do município até então. As rochas reconhecidas nesse conjunto são provenientes de antigas pedreiras da região e de outras localidades a partir do possível transporte por trem. Pavimentos antigos, blocos de cantaria e detalhes arquitetônicos das edificações tombadas como patrimônio foram analisados e, entre os resultados, um mapa esquemático foi elaborado compilando os dados disponíveis. Muitas calçadas e construções históricas mostraram informações sobre o passado que presenciaram, mas comumente são negligenciadas como fonte de informação e boa parte vem sendo destruída ou descaracterizada. Este estudo aponta a necessidade de preservação e manutenção adequada em algumas calçadas e outros detalhes arquitetônicos. A informação levantada sobre as rochas presentes nas edificações ou sobre as possíveis áreas fonte dos materiais pode subsidiar ações de restauro ou preservação da memória no planejamento urbano, além de constituir um campo para educação patrimonial. Palavras Chave: rochas, patrimônio construído, Ponta GrossaAbstractSTONES OF THE HISTORIC HERITAGE BUILT OF PONTA GROSSA, PR. The city of Ponta Grossa (PR) was founded in 1862 and is located on the border between Paraná Plateau (Crystalline) and Second Plateau of Paraná (sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Paraná Basin), presenting a special urban heritage, built from the local geodiversity. A research about rocks used in the area of old Center was carried out, from a map of 1920 and bibliographical research correlated the field survey. The heritage buildings are constituted by a railway complex installed in the late 19th century, the main church square and its surroundings, as the map used exposes the limits of the municipality (1920). The rocks recognized in this set are from ancient quarries of the region and other places possible coming by train. Antique flooring, masonry blocks and architectural details of old buildings were analyzed and, among the results, a schematic map was put together by compiling available data. Many sidewalks and historical constructions showed information about the past, but commonly are neglected as a source of information and much has been destroyed or mischaracterized. This study points out the need for preservation and proper maintenance on some sidewalks and other architectural details. The information up on the rocks present in the buildings or on carries(possible source areas of materials) can help actions of restoration or memory preservation in urban planning, in addition to be a field for heritage education.Keywords: dimension stones, cultural heritage, Ponta Grossa

With the late-19th-Century rise of the metropolis came new ways of seeing in the American city. Observers attempting to decipher the “mysteries” of an urban landscape radically transformed by industrial and mercantile capitalism responded in a variety of ways: some chose to portray the “underside” of the city, some its expansive beauty, others its vast and disorienting scale. But what these different perspectives share is an assumption that one can comprehend and order the sprawling urban scene through a knowledge and experience predicated on sight; to “see” the city is, quite literally, to understand it.

- The transformation of streets in Paris at the beginning of 20th century can best be seen in the facades, whose design featured devices like bow windows and terraces that moved facades forwards and backward in relation to street lines. This transformation is chiefly the result of the building code of 1902 and its late 19th-century predecessors, which came out of a reaction against the allegedly repetitive and monotonous Haussmann- era architecture. The 1902 code established the regulations for determining the height and the degree of protuberance of city buildings. In fact, it set up a new system of relationships between the constructed and non-constructed surface areas. Therefore the city took on a new image that changed when prompted by the new regulations and the modern interpretations that were given to them. The application of these new regulations first resulted in an immediate rise in building heights as well as in a change in the building volumes marked by the changed facades and roofs. However, the obvious change in the building heights that affected roofs, bow windows, loggias, and turrets is not the only distinguishing feature of Parisian architecture in the early 1900s. There is also a transformation in the overall volumes of buildings, which went so far as to break up the uniform alignment of the facades on the streets and thus to vary a system of occupying the lots that had been established for centuries.

The paper presents some general historical considerations on the margin of François Queyel’s excellent archaeological study of the late 19th-century discoveries made in the forum of the city of Zita on the Zarzis peninsula in Tripolitania, including marble sculptures and inscriptions. The considerations amplify the interpretation of specific archaeological finds, leading to the conclusion that the rapid evolution and romanization of the ancient Punic city took place shortly after the failed revolt of the Numidian Berber leader Tacfarinas (AD 14–37).
