This rare print has lovely subject matter and has great color and contrast. Unfortunately it was adhered onto a stiff backer board, the back of which has three men in suits and bowler hats (see photo). The print has some bubbles between the backing board and the print itself and there are minor creases in places (most notably the ones along the top area - see photo). On the plus side the board it is adhered to seems to be acid free, otherwise it would've discolored the print by now. Also you may be able to release the print by carefully taking an iron, on low heat, over the piece with a cloth in between. But I will leave this up to you since it will involve some risk. I found a duplicate print online that is titled "Awakening of Spring (Easter)", which sold some time ago. I could not find this print currently for sale online. Measures: 8.75 x 16.5 inches
Katherine Routledge is a central figure in the history of Easter Island, one of the world's most remote and mysterious locales. Born to a wealthy and prestigious English Quaker family in 1866, Katherine rebelled against their strict Victorian values, becoming one of the first female graduates of Oxford University and the first woman archaeologist to work in Polynesia. At the age of forty, Katherine married a charismatic Australian adventurer, William Scoresby Routledge, and they built a ninety-foot, state-of-the-art yacht, christening her Mana, the Polynesian word for \"spiritual power.\" From 1913 to 1915, Katherine and Scoresby led the Mana Expedition to Easter Island, where Katherine conducted the first-ever excavations of the island's world-famous stone statues. Katherine collected vast quantities of new information, which she faithfully transcribed into her journals and field notebooks. Through interviews with dozens of elderly men and women, she was able to save the history of the island, whose population was struggling back from the brink of extinction. Without Katherine's extraordinary efforts, Easter Island's traditional beliefs and customs would have been forever lost. Katherine's hard work came at a terrible price. A family history of schizophrenia and a deep sense of spiritualism brought her under the spell of an old mystic named Angata, who led an Easter Island rebellion in which Katherine played a central role. After her return to England, she heard \"voices\" that precipitated a separation from Scoresby and nearly destroyed her ability to write and to publish her fieldwork. Her family blamed Angata, the Easter Island \"witch doctor,\" for driving Katherine insane. With Scoresby, they kidnapped Katherine from her lavish London home and isolated her in an asylum, where she died seven years later. Many of Katherine's papers were thought to be lost until they were discovered by Jo Anne Van Tilburg, the contemporary world's leading authority on the Easter Island statues. In this compelling biography, Dr. Van Tilburg brings her unique expertise to Katherine Routledge's discoveries and to her turbulent life. The result is an exciting personal story, set against the drama of Katherine's remarkable exploration of one of the most intriguing archaeological sites in the world.
Christmas cards today usually feature a jolly Santa, fluffy woodland animal or green glittery tree, but Victorian versions had a much more terrifying tone. The first Christmas card was commercially produced by Sir Henry Cole in 1843 but it was not until the 1870s, and the introduction of the halfpenny stamp, that sending cards was affordable for almost everyone. Victorians then leapt upon the idea with alacrity. It was usual in the 19th Century for friends and relations to exchange letters at Christmas time. The Victorians had a different idea to what Christmas was about - not particularly Christian, but a time of good humor. The cards were not only overwhelmingly secular, but some were grimly non-festive. Rosy-faced children gathered round a decorated tree might be seen on a card - but so might a dead robin or a turnip wearing a hat. Here's a collection of 25 bizarre and creepy vintage Christmas cards from the Victorian era: May Christmas be Merry May yours be a Joyful Christmas A Merry Christmas to you A hearty Christmas greeting May all jollity ‘lighten’ your Christmas hours Absent friends [natives], may we soon see them again! A merry Christmas to you (1876) I have come to greet you A happy Christmas to you Wishing you a Merry Christmas An example of one of the first Australian Christmas cards, collected by Bessie Rouse A Krampus Christmas card A joyful Christmas to you A happy Christmas “So please excuse this impecunious card, As all I’m good for is a used up.” Every good wish for your Christmas A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (1876) A happy Christmas to you Wishing you a merry Christmas A Christmas pudding-themed card With many merry Christmas greetings Who’s afraid?
