The Music Collection of Thomas Baker of Farnham, Surrey
2013
Thomas Baker's music collection is part of the special collections of the Music Library at Western University, Ontario. Thomas Baker (1719/20-94) lived mainly in Farnham, southwest of London, England, in the County of Surrey. His music collection remained largely intact, which is unusual for the library of an eighteenth-century man who lived in a small town in rural England. The collection at Western consists of 90 separate pieces of music, collections of music, and books of music theory, plus six manuscripts; an inventory of the collection illustrates the variety of musical forms that he collected. His purchase of an organ leads us to conclude that he played the organ and possibly other keyboard instruments; about 25% of his collection is for keyboard. However, he was also interested in a variety of other musical forms, either as a performer or as a collector. From the surviving information, we can create a basic portrait of Baker and his music collection, even if we can draw no definite conclusions about how it was used or if he was merely a collector, or also a performer or an organizer of concerts.

The Visual Criticism of Thomas Stothard’s Designs of Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe for The Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas (1821)
2021
This contribution examines Thomas Stothard’s illustrations of Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe for the 1821 issue of The Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas. An analysis of the twenty-five images in the illustrated diary-cum-almanac demonstrates how Stothard develops a multifaceted and multi-layered visual narrative which captures and elucidates the original text in a variety of ways. Rather than simply serving a decorative function in a fashionable print medium, then, the illustrations can, and should, be read as acts of visual literary criticism. They function as explanatory and analytical responses that promote different possible readings and interpretations of the original, typographic text. Highlighting two main aspects in the novel, the world of medieval romance and the female protagonists, Stothard’s images represent an innovative and unique moment in the extensive reception history of Scott’s popular Romantic novel.

LAFAYETTE GRADS HEAR LIFE LESSONS
2014
[Thomas Baker] outlined three lessons he'd learned in high school: \"Always try to improve,\" \"you get out of something what you put into it\" and \"sometimes things just don't work out the way it should.\" \"We've learned an astounding amount of things these past 17 or 18 years,\" said O'[Neil], who will study at Christopher Newport University next fall. \"But there are still millions upon millions of things for us to discover. Today's the day that we squeeze our eyes shut, hold our breath and dive head-first into that strange new world that's out there waiting for us.\"
