A Random Alphabet full of Illustrators - N is for Swedish illustrator Jenny Nyström (1854 - 1956). She is most associated with her Christmas Illustrations, which linked "Jultomte", The Swedish version of Father Christmas, to the Gnomes of Swedish folklore #IllustrationOfTheDay

11月5日は【世界津波の日】
2015年の国連総会で制定。1854年のこの日に和歌山県を大津波が襲った際、ある村人が、収穫した稲むらに火をつけて人々に危険を知らせて多くの命を救い、復興にも尽力したという逸話が由来。津波防災の意識向上を目指し、早期警報や情報共有の重要性を訴える。

Painted between 1854 and 1856 by William Holman Hunt (1827 - 1910)🇬🇧
#OTD 1854, the Charge of Scarlett's 300 or Heavy Brigade at Balaclava. Such a dreadful event for men and horses, but a brilliantly dynamic evocation of it (after Stanley Berkeley, c.1890). Thanks @NAM_London. #history #Crimea https://t.co/uoWdPlLfr0
I'm sure everyone knows who this is... Commodore Matthew Perry. The American man credited with opening up Japan to the west and stoppped having it be closed! On his 2nd visit to Japan in 1854 he visited Hakodate - one of two ports opened to Americans in the Treaty of Kanagawa.

Oscar Wilde was #BOTD 1854. In 1891 he wrote "Salomé" a play that proved so popular it inspired numerous silent adaptations incl. Nazimova's 1922 film. Later versions featured Eartha Kitt as Salomé in 1955 & Al Pacino as Herod (2018) + Ken Russell's 1985 SALOMÉ'S LAST DANCE.
The Myth of #OscarWilde’s Martyrdom. He cast himself in a dazzling array of roles, both on and off the page. Can history restore the full measure of Wilde’s complexity?

On this day in 1854, the author and world-champion decadent Oscar Wilde entered the world. For this author portrait in the Illuminated Edition of THE FAIRYTALES OF OSCAR WILDE, @yukoart dressed him in a fictional but fitting peacock-print suit. Happy Birthday, dear Oscar.
