I had a client commission a black and white Art Nouveau header of the Roman Goddess Juno for a role playing game. This was meant to emulate the style of Adolphe Giraldon, and it was very fun to examine his work. My personal style usually isn't this complex, so it was refreshing to work on something slightly different.
I post sketches and other more casual things on my instagram if you want to give me a follow:
From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith.
"Jacobus Parker, Dramatic Reader, Shoe-Black, and Peddler, is represented in the accompanying photograph standing at his accustomed pitch. Although the career of Parker has been clouded, and his life-story is one of struggle and disappointment, yet he has fought the battle bravely, and, as a veteran, is not without his scars. “There is one thing I am proud of,” said Parker, one day; “I am near three-score years and ten, have fought life's battle and won, and will carry with me to the end its chief prizes-a hale heart and a contented mind.” "Greed of gain, sir, has never been my motto. It is but a poor object to fill up every nook and cranny of a human heart from boyhood to old age, as it does with many." Again, in his own words, “I have always advocated temperance and detested drunkenness. In my youth I never did apply hot and rebellious liquor to my blood, nor did, with unbashful forehead, woo the means of weakness and debility.' Ah, sir, I have seen wine make woeful wrecks of men and women too, recalling the powerful lines, ‘Oh! thou invisible spirit of drink, if thou hast no other name to go by, let us call thee Devi1.'""

From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith:
"Jack stood charged with cutting and wounding the donkeys with a heavy flail-like instrument. At the request of the magistrate the instrument was put in as evidence. It was produced by the defendant from the depths of a side pocket, and proved to be a switch of about eighteen inches in length. "This is the flail, your honour," said I, “and I own I use it for tickling Tom and Billy, my donkeys. They want no more to make 'em fly." The case was dismissed.
Jack left the court with a clear conscience and an unblemished name among costers; for, although some of them may neglect their wives and families, it seems to be a point of honour with all to treat their donkeys with kindness. For the kindness bestowed the animal invariably shows its gratitude by perfect docility and willingness to bear the yoke imposed by its master. The donkeys fare like their own masters; a prosperous day will secure for them some dainty, or at least a feed without stint, of oats, beans, and hay, at a cost of eightpence or ninepence."

We no longer have to be brought into line by the threat of hell or the promise of paradise; we merely have to be reminded that it is we ourselves - that is, the most mature and reasonable parts of us - who want to lead the sort of life which we once imagined supernatural beings demanded of us.

Dès 1892 le maire de Malo, Adolphe Geeraert, entreprend de faire de la commune une véritable ville autour de la station balnéaire, il fait construire un hôtel de ville et une digue-promenade le long du front de mer. Au début du XXe siècle, Édouard Denièle fonde à la frontière orientale de la ville face à Leffrinckoucke, la station balnéaire de Malo-Terminus, qui comprend elle aussi une digue et un casino-hôtel. La ville comme toutes ses voisines subit le joug des deux guerres mondiales notamment au cours de la seconde, où la plage de « Malo-Beach » fut le point central de l'embarquement au cours de l'Opération Dynamo.

My heart was overjoyed when we hiked up to the trails and saw how green all the hills were. I've shot in this area but each time it was yellow and full of dry grass. I can't believe how stunning the landscape is with lush, green grass! This was at the top of a secluded little hill that sloped off to a valley between two trails. I wanted something calming and simple. Inspired by William-Adolphe Bouguereau's paintings, for sure on this one.
Thank you to Kirsten for being and wonderful and patient model.
Adolphe Hedwige Alphonse Delamare (1793-1861) - Porta de la Ciutadella a Barcelona
www.museunacional.cat/ca/colleccio/porta-de-la-ciutadella...
From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith:
"The accompanying photograph is that of a nondescript guy, somewhat clumsily built up by a costermonger who lives in the south-east of London. This meaningless monstrosity, together with the absurd appearance of the man in woman's clothes, amuses some persons, and the conductor of such an exhibition can hope to realize about thirty shillings the first day, a pound on the 6th of November, and ten or fifteen shillings on the 7th. With this money the cost of getting up the guy must be refunded, and a shilling or eighteen pence per day given to the boys who help to swell the cortege. The boys' share of the proceeds is consequently somewhat out of proportion with the time and cheers they devote to promoting the success of the enterprise; but it is argued that they enjoy the fun, while to their seniors the venture is attended with some risk, and is only considered as another form of labour for daily bread."

Adolphe-William Bouguereau
French, 1825-1905
Oil on canvas
Gift of Mrs. William Scripps
This is now one of the favorite paintings at the DIA.
He was a severe critic of the Impressionists and when that style became popular, his work through much of the 20th century fell into disfavor, only recently being revived.

The cover of the August 1937 edition of Art & Industry magazine, prreviously Commercial Art, and with the then standard cover design. This copy is of interest in that it bears a rather fine poster stamp on the front cover. This shows it was purchased in the Brussels/Bruxelles/Brussel branch of W H S Smith no less, when they had an English Bookshop on the Boulevard Adolphe Max/Adolphe Maxlaan and that contained an English Tea Rooms no less. It had opened in 1920. Quite what happened to all that in 1939/40 I wonder but oddly, not only does the building still stand, recognisable, but it is the city's branch of Waterstones, the british bookshop chain.
The back cover, with an advert for printing company Herbert Reiach of London, also has a poster stamp and one of equal interest. It is in French and is advertising the London & North Eastern Railway's night ferry services from Anvers/Antwerp to Harwich with onward connections to Scotland. It shows not only the LNER's agency in Antwerp/Anvers, Westcott & Co, one the Quai D'Herbouville, but also their address in Brussels/Bruxelles/Brussel at 41 Boulevard Adolphe Max where they also acted for the London Midland & Scottish Railway.

Citroen Kegresse Forestiere Autochenille (1931) Engine 1300cc S4
The Kegresse system is a clever form of the caterpillar tracked drive system. Invented by French born Adolphe Kegresse an engineer who developed the system at the behest of his former employer Czar Nicholas II, who had wanted a means of adapting his cars to drive across deep snow, Rather than using the heavy steel plates of a conventional crawler tractor, Kegresse devised a lighweight system that employed rubber bands running around the bogies driven from the rear axle. patents were duly filed in Russia and in France, and by the onset of the first world war the system had been perfected.
Returning to his native France during the Russian revolution Adolphe Kegresse was introduced to Andre Citroen, who recognised the potential of the system and purchased the sole rights, setting up Societe Citroen-Kegresse-Hinstin to further develope and manufacture it.
One of the systems major advantages is the fact that it does not require a powerful vehicle, and tests were first carried out on an adapted B2 10CV model. These autochenilles (auto caterpillars) were an immeadiate sucess were used by farmers and foresters and for a variety of military uses. A series of expeditions across the undeveloped parts of Asia, America, and Africa was undertaken by Citroën, demonstrating the all-terrain capabilities of these vehicles.
The French Army purchased large numbers of the P17 and P19 halftrack as gun tractors. The Kegresse drive system were also mounted on a large range of armoured vehicles
In World War II, both sides used this system in the war effort. In the 1920s, the U.S. Army purchased several Citroën-Kégresse vehicles for evaluation and then purchased a licence to produce them. This resulted in the Army Ordnance Department building a prototype in 1939. In December 1942, it went into production with the M2 Half Track Car and M3 Half-track versions. The Nazis also captured many of these Citroën half-track vehicles and armored them for their own use

Notes: The statue of Ariadne sleeping was acquired by Pope Julius II (1503-1513) in 1512 for the Courtyard of Statues (Cortile delle Statue) where it was adapted in order to decorate a fountain. After being moved several times, it was finally placed where you see it now in 1779 and the painter Cristoforo Unterperger painted the background of the niche with Egyptian motifs, now covered over with a red wash. Because the statue has a bracelet in the form of a serpent, it was believed to be of Cleopatra, who killed herself with the bite of an asp. It was Ennio Quirino Visconti who finally recognised the statue as being of Ariadne at the end of the 1700s. Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos of Crete who, after having helped Theseus overcome the Minotaur and escape the Labyrinth, was abandoned by the ungrateful man as she lay sleeping on the island of Naxos; she was re-awakened by the arrival of Dionysus, who married her. The sculpture is a copy of a 2nd century B.C. original from the school of Pergamon and had some other replicas in Roman times

British Real Hand-Coloured Photograph postcard, no. 3384/1. Photo: Paramount. Publicity still for Service for Ladies (Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, 1927).
Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinée idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. In 1931, he was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page (1931).
Adolphe Jean Menjou was born in 1890 in Pittsburgh. He was the elder son of hotel manager Albert Menjou. His Irish mother, Nora Menjou-Joyce, was a distant cousin of the famous Irish author James Joyce. Menjou had a younger brother, Henri Menjou, who made an attempt to become an actor and played in three films for Paramount in the mid-1930s. Their French émigré father moved the family to Cleveland, where he operated a chain of restaurants. He disapproved of show business and sent his son to Culver Military Academy in Indiana in the hopes of dissuading him from an acting career. Later, at Cornell University, Menjou abruptly changed his major engineering to liberal arts and began auditioning for college plays. He did some vaudeville work, and from 1915 on, he appeared as an extra for such film studios as Vitagraph, Edison and Biograph. During World War I, he served as a captain with the Ambulance Corps in France. After the war he found employment off-camera as a productions manager and unit manager. After six years of struggle he finally broke into the top ranks with substantial roles in The Faith Healer (George Melford, 1921) and Through the Back Door (Alfred E. Green, Jack Pickford, 1921), starring Mary Pickford. He earned a Paramount contract and played Louis XIII in The Three Musketeers (Fred Niblo, 1921), starring Douglas Fairbanks and the influential writer Raoul de Saint Hubert in Rudolph Valentino's classic The Sheik (George Melford, 1921). Menjou established his slick prototype as the urbane ladies' man and wealthy roué opposite Edna Purviance in Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923). Paramount capitalized on Menjou's playboy image by casting him as matinée leads in Broadway After Dark (Monta Bell, 1924), Sinners in Silk (Hobart Henley, 1924), The Ace of Cads (Luther Reed, 1926), A Social Celebrity (Malcolm St. Clair, 1926) and A Gentleman of Paris (Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast, 1927).
The stock market crash led to the termination of Adolphe Menjou's Paramount contract and his status as a leading man. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "MGM took him on at half his Paramount salary and his fluency in such languages as French and Spanish kept him employed at the beginning. Rivalling Gary Cooper for the attentions of Marlene Dietrich in Morocco (1930) started the ball rolling for Menjou as a dressy second lead. Rarely placed in leads following this period, he managed his one and only Oscar nomination for "Best Actor" with his performance as editor Walter Burns in The Front Page (Lewis Milestone, 1931). " Other successful films include Forbidden (Frank Capra, 1932), Little Miss Marker (Alexander Hall, 1934), A Star is Born (William A. Wellman, 1937), Stage Door (Gregory La Cava, 1937) and Golden Boy (Rouben Mamoulian, 1939). During the war, he entertained the troops overseas and worked for the radio. He played the slick and slimy lawyer Billy Flynn opposite Ginger Rogers in Roxie Hart (William A. Wellman, 1942). After the war he played secondary parts in The Hucksters (Jack Conway, 1947) and State of the Union (Frank Capra, 1948). His last lead was in the crackerjack thriller The Sniper (Edward Dmytryk, 1952). His role was a San Francisco homicide detective tracking down a killer who preys on women in San Francisco. For the first time in nearly two decades, he appeared without his moustache .In 1947, Menjou cooperated with the House Committee on Un-American Activities in its hunt for communists in Hollywood. Menjou was a leading member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, a group formed to oppose communist influence in Hollywood. His last notable film was the classic anti-war picture Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, 1957) in which he played the villainous General Broulard. After Disney's Pollyanna (David Swift, 1960), featuring Hayley Mills, he retired from acting. In 1963, he died in his home in Beverly Hills after a nine-month battle with hepatitis. He married three times. His second wife was actress and co-star Kathryn Carver. They married in 1928 and divorced in 1934. Since 1934 he was married to actress Verree Teasdale, with whom he had an adopted son, Peter. His autobiography was called 'It Took Nine Tailors' (1947).

A view on the Adolphe Bridge in Luxembourg City. The Adolphe Bridge (Adolphe-Bréck in Luxembourgish) is an arch bridge of 153 metres lenght and stands over the Pétrusse Valley, connecting Boulevard Royal to Avenue de la Liberté.
The Adolphe Bridge has become an unofficial national symbol of sorts, representing Luxembourg's independence, and has become one of Luxembourg City's main tourist attractions. The bridge was designed by Paul Séjourné, a Frenchman, and Paul Rodange, a Luxembourger, and was built between 1900 and 1903. Its design was copied in the construction of Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia, the United States.
The bridge was named after Grand Duke Adolphe, who reigned Luxembourg from 1890 until 1905.
