French postcard by Croissant, Paris, no. 3871. Photo: Gaumont. Publicity still for Mignon (Alice Guy, 1906). Caption: Est-ce bien Mignon que voilà? Alice Guy directed nine (or seven - the sources differ) scenes from the opera 'Mignon' for a synchronized sound film, in the Gaumont Chronophone Studio, Paris, in 1906. 'Mignon' (1966) is an opéra comique in three acts by Ambroise Thomas. The original French libretto was by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, based on Goethe's novel 'Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre'.
French-born Alice Guy (1873-1968) is generally considered to be the world's first female director. She was born in 1873 in Paris. In 1896, she entered the film business as a secretary for Léon Gaumont at Gaumont-Paris. The next year Gaumont changed from manufacturing cameras to producing films, and Guy became one of its first directors. She averaged two two-reelers a week and impressed the company so much with the output and the quality of her productions that by 1905 she was made the company's production director, supervising the company's other directors. After her first film in 1896, she directed and produced or supervised almost six hundred silent films ranging in length from one minute to thirty minutes, the majority of which were of the single-reel length. In addition, she also directed and produced or supervised one hundred and fifty synchronised sound films for the Gaumont Chronophone. Alison McMahan at Women Film Pioneers Project: "Her Gaumont silent films are notable for their energy and risk-taking; her preference for real locations gives the extant examples of these Gaumont films a contemporary feel."
In 1907 Alice Guy married Herbert Blaché, an Englishman who ran the company's British and German offices. The pair went to the U.S. in 1909 to set up the company's operations there. In 1910, she and husband Herbert Blaché set up their own production company in New York, the Solax Film Co. (1910-1914), and built a studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After a period of critical and financial success, her company's fortunes declined and she eventually shut down the studio. Although she secured work directing films for several major Hollywood studios, she returned to France in 1922 after her divorce from Blaché. She was never able to secure any directorial jobs there, and never made a film again. In 1964 she returned to the U.S. and lived in Mahwah, New Jersey - not far from where her original studios were - with her daughter Simone, where she died in 1968. Simone Blaché was born in 1908 and her brother Reginald in 1912. Simone played in two of her mother's films and later told about Guy in the documentary The Silent Feminists: America's First Women Directors (1993).

This is the chapel of the Presentation Convent, Waterford. The light coming in the stained glass windows makes it very atmospheric, but also unfortuately obscures a lot of the architectural and other detail... And that's a real shame, as thanks to beachcomberaustralia, we now know that this chapel was designed by the very famous English architect and designer, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812–1852).
From the website of The Pugin Foundation:
"Former Presentation Convent, Slievekeale Road. Designed 1841, constructed 1842-63. Some fittings and furnishings after 1852 by Edward Welby Pugin. Traditional monastic layout around a quadrangular cloister. Some minor modifications but essentially intact, including rood screen. Conversion of the convent (a protected structure) to a health centre by Waterford firm DHB Architects completed in May 2009."

The Roodhouse Local returns from Springfield near Murrayville, IL. through the big sky country of central Illinois.
This line is the former Alton/GM&O Air line from Murrayville to Springfield, IL. The line has seen very little traffic since the ICG diverted the Chicago-Kansas City trains to the former IC main to Duquoin to East St. Louis to Roodhouse to Kansas City. After the ICG sold the former Alton routes, the line has been basically a branch line to Springfield where KCS interchanges with the I&M and CN. On this day there was only one car picked up from the CN as the first five cars are buffer cars between the power and a hazardous materials car. A far cry from when the GM&O ran 100 plus car trains between Chicago and Kansas City.

We're back with the SS Copeland, literally, as this photo is from 1906 and we've already uploaded later photos from 1910 - 18 June and 30 July.
While sailing from Glasgow to Cork on 2 December 1917, this ship was torpedoed and sank off Tuskar Rock with the loss of 12 crew.
Thankfully, we now know that John Davies escaped the sinking as he moved to Australia in 1912 (id-ed by his great grand-daughter Christine).

Huile sur toile (première version), 114 x 131 cm, 1906, musée Guggenheim, New York.
Selon le peintre lui-même "Du cubisme à l’art abstrait", cette première version, peinte en 1906, a été présentée et refusée au Salon d’automne cette même année. La seconde date de 1913 et a été présentée au "Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon" de Berlin en 1913 et fut également détruite par lui. La troisième version du tableau, appelée aussi Manège électrique, date de 1922 et se trouve au centre Pompidou à Paris. La précision de l'artiste écrite à l'envers de la première version du Manège de cochons est relative au tableau Fenêtre sur la ville n° 4 daté de 1909-1910.

Edvard Munch. There are Worlds Within Us
In September KODE Bergen Art Museums launches two major exhibitions on Edvard Munch.
– We’re looking forward to presenting a large number of Munch’s most outstanding works. This autumn Bergen will be the world’s “Munch-capital” says Director of the KODE Museums Petter Snare.
The exhibition “Edvard Munch – There are Worlds Within Us” brings together around seventy works from the world’s largest Munch collections – including KODE’s own, where Munch’s art forms a central pillar. Made possible through generous loans from the Munch Museum and the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, as well as private collectors. A parallel exhibition, “The Experimental Self – Edvard Munch’s photography” looks at Munch’s exploration of photography and film as an artistic medium. Both exhibitions open on September 6th.
– These exhibitions will present the breadth of Munch’s artistic oeuvre – from paintings and prints to photography. We are excited to present our own Munch-works in a larger context, Snare says.
The world’s largest Munch collections meet
“Edvard Munch – There are Worlds Within Us” explores fascinating connections and contrasts in Munch’s art. How do our inner worlds connect with nature, culture and the people around us? We see how his Frieze of Life pictures develop the themes of love, anxiety and death. We see how landscapes alternate between the seasons, sunlight and moonlight. We see pictures that address the different stages of life and the self-portraits that punctuate the episodes of Munch’s career.
The title “There are Worlds Within Us” is taken from one of Munch’s own notes:
"Nothing is small nothing is great – there are Worlds within us. Small things form part of the large. Large things form part of the small – A drop of blood is a Universe with Suns at its centre and Planet. The ocean is a drop. A small part of a Body."
Munch’s best-known works are often viewed as expressions of alienation and isolation and a fear of the masses. In the above quote Munch uses the inclusive “us”, exploring the great in the small, and vice versa. The exhibition seeks to adopt the same perspective. How is everything connected?
“Edvard Munch. There are Worlds Within Us” is presented in the recently renovated halls of the KODE Museum’s Stenersen building. These halls have been restored to their original open-plan layout of 1978. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with contributions from Munch specialists and scholars in other fields. The exhibition is curated by Line Daatland, Director of Collections and Exhibitions at KODE and Frode Sandvik, curator at KODE.

Dibujo satírico que reproduce a los más notables dirigentes republicanos que participaron en la Asamblea Municipalista de Zaragoza, reunida entre el 9 y el 11 de febrero de 1906, en el teatro Pignatelli. Los personajes representan, cogidicos de la mano, como corresponde, el principio del "Coro y jota de los de Calatorao" que forma parte de la zarzuela "Gigantes y Cabezudos".
Destaca por su tamaño, a la izquierda, Joaquín Costa, seguido de Alejandro Lerroux, Marcelino Isábal, Ricardo Fuente, y otros. La original letra de esta jota ("Por ver a la Pilarica, vengo de Calatoaro. Vinimos en la perrera, ¡Jesús, lo que hemos gastao!") ha sido modificada para la ocasión con rimante y republicano gracejo.
Al fondo, el templo del Pilar aparece con la torre de Santiago, si bien la de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, a la izquierda, ya se encontraba en proceso de culminación.
