<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4610818, member: 5833&quot;]Bronwen just got home from the ER (A&amp;E for our Brit friends) a couple of hours ago after tripping on her way in to her local pharmacy, falling on her right cheekbone, fracturing it &amp; the eye socket, &amp; maybe a little bit her nose.&nbsp; Right eye blackened &amp; swollen shut, 3 sutures in the eyebrow, &amp; blood keeps running out my right nostril if I don&#039;t keep something stuffed in it.&nbsp; Also wrenched right shoulder, which is what actually hurts more than my face if I move it.&nbsp; Appt with maxillofacial surgeon later today.</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys already have these nailed as much as I could do.&nbsp; Got excited that I was going to be able to ID the Michelini, then found you all beat me to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luigi Michelini started out in Rome &amp; seems to have been there a number of years before moving to Paris &amp; opening a shop there in 1829 or 30.&nbsp; Judging by the quality of the Urania, it dates to his Paris years, when he was taken under the tutelage of Girometti, who developed him into an engraver in hardstone, although I think he may never have completely abandoned shell.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to see what lying down is like now.&nbsp; Bye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
