Oxford, 1926. A furious red velvet coat for the chaos of the beginning of term, for a morning on the fall of Robespierre, followed by lunch with the Warden, for moorhens & Mongolian limes in University Parks &, as evening casts melancholy, this ridiculous duel by the river reeds.
Gerda Wegener, detail, On the banks of the Loire (Beaugency artists colony), Paris, 1926.
Before refrigerators, blocks of ice were cut from frozen rivers and ponds, and preserved in straw. [L: 'The Ice Harvest', Clarence Gagnon, ca. 1926. Private collection. R: 'Ice Cutting, Quebec City', Maurice Cullen, 1906, via @agotoronto.] #FolkloreThursday

Remembering dear old sod 'Regy’ Herbert, 15th Earl of Pembroke 1880-1960 born today 8 Sept 1880
Soldier, landowner, politician, husband of “Bee”.
Regy was the lover of Lois Sturt 1919-1926. Together they broke every rule in the book of verse.
So much more @PembrokeReggie

Quel artiste et quelle personnalité : fantastique, audacieux, hors normes, excentrique…
