ブリジャートン家のボクシングのシーンって現代的な脚色なのかと思ってたら、当時からほんとにボクシングの試合があったのね。スポーツとしてのボクシングはイギリスでは17世紀から始まったらしい。
このイラストは1811年の賭けボクシング試合。後ろに観客たくさん🥊

In 1811 he visited Salisbury to paint the spire. Barges on the Stour (1811), E Bergholt (c1813) & Golding Constable’s Flower Garden (1815) The latter is a breath of fresh air!

作家、詩人、フォークロア研究家として知られるカレル・ヤロミール・エルベン(1811年11月7日〜1870年11月21日)は150年前の今日、逝去した。怪談めいた詩集『花束』(Kytice、初版1853年、改訂版1861年)や童話が有名。シュヴァンクマイエル監督による『オテサーネク』(2001年)も彼の童話に基づく。
RT @AntoineVanner: A small but savage epic of courage occurred in 1811 when a small British trader, the Fortune, was attacked by a larger French privateer, her crew outnumbered six to one. But she did not surrender ... https://t.co/dNTnCgabg5 #MaritimeHistory
