I immensely enjoyed @OGOMProject's conference “Ill Met by Moonlight” on all things Gothic Faerie. A big thanks to organizers @DrSamGeorge1 @BillBloodyHughe @KajaFranck @Daisy2205. Do follow for more information & hopefully recordings of the brilliant presentations.

“Do they die? Blake saw a fairy’s funeral; but in Ireland we say they are immortal."

Heinrich Lefler died #OTD in 1919. These gorgeous illustrations are from “Grimms Märchen” (Grimms’ Fairy Tales) and were by both Lefler and his brother-in-law Joseph Urban.

Czech artist Maxmilián Pirner was born #OTD 1853. Much of his work focused on themes from classical mythology, and he apparently had quite an interest in all things strange and macabre.

"He approached, and perceived the Gothic remains of an abbey: it stood on a kind of rude lawn, overshadowed by high and spreading trees, which seemed coeval with the building, and diffused a romantic gloom around."

—Ann Radcliffe, died #OTD in 1823

In honor of Mary Shelley, here is a wonderfully designed #Frankenstein story map that identifies & illustrates locations & contextual quotes from the novel. It was created by Caitlin Burke and Patricia Herron of @UofMaryland.

@EJBrand @byron_society @CKenyonJones Just found out about this event and quite sorry I missed it. Glad to see Boatswain made an appearance—illustrations here by Elizabeth Bridget Pigot, no? I posted a few last year on the anniversary of Boatswain’s death.

The brilliant Romanticist painter Carl Gustav Carus was born #OTD in 1789. He studied under Caspar David Friedrich for a few years, which is quite evident in some of his work.

William Blake was born #OTD 1757. These illustrations by Blake are for the poem “The Grave” (1743) by Scottish poet Robert Blair, one of the so-called Graveyard Poets.

I took these darkened pictures of Boatswain’s Monument shortly before nightfall while visiting Newstead Abbey in October 2018. The painting is an actual life-size portrait of Boatswain by Clifton Tomson (1775-1828). Here are others of Byron & Boatswain by E.B. Pigot (1783-1866).
