#FolkyFriday. Illustration by Michael Fitzgerald for Sheridan Le Fanu's story Carmilla. Le Fanu predated Dracula by about 25 years. Interesting psychological #ghoststories.
#FolkloreSunday - One of Henri Fuseli's paintings - The Debutante at the Tate...1807. These women might be high class prostitutes/courtesans. The woman sewing, appears tethered by a lead round her neck. Swiss-born, spend most of his life in the UK. #paintings #PainterOfTheNight
Old mustanger cabin in REMOTE Colorado. #ColoradoHistory #MoffatCounty
Gosh - trying out "X" - formerly known as twitter, and my post won't load! Regardless...if this works...this is the gravesite of Marie Contassot - murdered prostitute. #Denvehistory #ColoradoHistory #WildWest
#FolkloreSunday Queen Anee's Lace - At the center of the flowerhead, is a tiny cluster of dark red flowers, like someone pricked their finger while working lace. Queen Anne (1702-1714) lost 17 children of her children, and sewed to comfort herself.
On the way home from @Western_Writers Conference in Rapid City - stopped by this roadside point of interest. Must go back to this part of Nebraska again soon. #Nebraska #WildWest
#FolkloreThursday Will-O-the-Wisp and Snake by Hermann Hendrich - Romanticism style. The streaks of light, also called “ignis fatuus,” Latin for “foolish fire”. Not sure what the snake adds...but OK....#FolkloreThursday
"Ramblers" in #GoldenColorado approx. 1890.
#ColoradoHistory. The Old Golden Courthouse which was on Washington. Golden sure has changed...a lot!!
