Stoclet huis
Bankier en kunstverzamelaar Adolphe Stoclet gaf in 1905 Josef Hoffmann – een van de belangrijkste architecten van de Weense Secessie-beweging – de opdracht dit huis te bouwen. Het huis en de tuin werden voltooid in 1911 en hun strakke geometrie betekende een keerpunt in de Art Nouveau en een voorbode van de Art Deco en de Moderne Beweging in de architectuur.

Palais Stoclet
Le Palais a été conçu en 1905 à la demande du banquier et collectionneur Adolphe Stoclet par l'un des chefs de file du mouvement artistique de la Sécession viennoise, l'architecte Josef Hoffman. Ce dernier a pu travailler sans limite financière ou esthétique.
Avec leur géométrisme épuré, le palais et le jardin (terminés en 1911) marquent un changement radical au sein de l'Art nouveau, changement qui annonce l'Art déco et le mouvement moderniste en architecture.
Le Palais Stoclet est une des réalisations les plus abouties de la Sécession viennoise.

Stoclet House
When banker and art collector Adolphe Stoclet commissioned this house from one of the leading architects of the Vienna Secession movement, Josef Hoffmann, in 1905, he imposed neither aesthetic nor financial restrictions on the project. The house and garden were completed in 1911 and their austere geometry marked a turning point in Art Nouveau, foreshadowing Art Deco and the Modern Movement in architecture.

This 1916 Monument to Faith on the Place d’Armes near the Château Frontenac was designed by Rev. Adolphe Garneau. The architect was David Ouellet. No mention of a sculptor.
The bronze was poured in France.
Le monument-fontaine de style néogothique commémore les 300 ans de l’établissement de la foi chrétienne au Canada, avec l’arrivée des missionnaires récollets en 1615. La statue personnifie la Foi tenant une croix ainsi qu’une palme, récompense divine.

John 20:14-18
"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
"Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).
Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Carte de Visite photograph of a young woman, late 1800s.
Photograph by James Frederick Lowrie who traded under the name of F Valery and operated a studio in The Parade, Beckenham, England. Lowrie was born in 1853 and died in his other studio at Victoria Chambers, High Street, Bromley, in May 1906 from a heart attack.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The carte de visite, (visiting card), abbreviated CdV or CDV, was a type of small photograph which was patented in Paris, France by photographer André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854, although first used by Louis Dodero. It was usually made of an albumen print, which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a carte de visite is 54.0 mm (2.125 in) × 89 mm (3.5 in) mounted on a card sized 64 mm (2.5 in) × 100 mm (4 in). In 1854, Disdéri had also patented a method of taking eight separate negatives on a single plate, which reduced production costs. The Carte de Visite was slow to gain widespread use until 1859, when Disdéri published Emperor Napoleon III's photos in this format. This made the format an overnight success. The new invention was so popular it was known as "cardomania" and it spread throughout Europe and then quickly to America and the rest of the world.
Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were traded among friends and visitors. Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlors. The immense popularity of these card photographs led to the publication and collection of photographs of prominent persons.
By the early 1870s, cartes de visite were supplanted by "cabinet cards," which were also usually albumen prints, but larger, mounted on cardboard backs measuring 110 mm (4.5 in) by 170 mm (6.5 in). Cabinet cards remained popular into the early 20th century, when Kodak introduced the Brownie camera and home snapshot photography became a mass phenomenon.

Notes: Adolphe Block (1829-1903) was a noted photographer who became a prolific publisher of stereoviews, especially "tissues" which were albumen photographs printed on thin paper backed by another thin sheet containing spots of color. When backlit, the dull albumen print becomes a colorful image. Nos Mondaines were tissue views of women in provocative poses, though usually full clothed.
French tissue stereocard techniques were developed by J.L. Tardieu in 1853. Tissue stereocards consist of a print on translucent paper mounted on a card cut to frame the print and often with a tissue added . The image could be tinted and the tint visible when lit from behind as a transparency. The tissue format of stereocards were available commercially by 1855. The largest amount of tissue stereocards were produced between 1858 and 1875. Many tissue stereocard producers are still unidentified. Many are marked only by initials such as these which are marked B.K. Photos and J.M.

From 'Street Life in London', 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith
…Despite the traditional hoarse voice, rough appearance, and quarrelsome tone, cab-drivers are as a rule reliable and honest men, who can boast of having fought the battle of life in an earnest, persevering, and creditable manner. Let me take, for instance, the career, as related by himself, of the cab-driver who furnishes the subject of the accompanying illustration. He began life in the humble capacity of pot-boy in his uncle's public-house, but abandoned this opening in consequence of a dispute, and ultimately obtained an engagement as conductor from the Metropolitan Tramway Company. In this employment the primary education he had enjoyed while young served him to good purpose, and he was soon promoted to the post of time-keeper. After some two years' careful saving he collected sufficient money to buy a horse, hire a cab, and obtain his licence…

Yes, I found myself once again standing in front of this painting, life size of the Shepherdess. Looking at her I have to wonder, did she have any remote clue how many people would star at her ever wisp of hair? Would she have chosen a different dress for the day, different colors, would it have been exactly like this if she only knew. Shooting the oil at the Philbrook is not as simple there is no tripod allowed, the lighting is minimal yet the oil reflects even this light, absolutely no flash. Yet I cannot walk away without at least one click. Painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, 1889, hangs Philbrook Museum of Art.
Sunset view over Luxembourg City with the Pont Adolphe, to the right, linking the Ville Haute to the Gare, over the Pétrusse valley. And the Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat du Luxembourg, to the left, as backdrop.
Luxembourg City is a commune with city status, and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is located at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse Rivers in the south. The city contains the historic Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.
Thanks for stopping by!

Adriana and I spent the day in Luxembourg today. It was actually a really nice day, even though it poured all night long. The city sits atop a series of valleys, so it's been a defensive location throughout much of history. The area has a lot of really cool bridges that remind me of ancient Roman aquaducts, You can also go down into a "village" called the Grund that sort of sits in one of the valleys, and then from there you can look up and see the city walls towering over you.
Luxembourg is technically the 6th smallest country in Europe. Growing up I always thought it was the smallest, so of course throughout the day I'm driving Adriana crazy acting like Cliff Claven and telling her it's a little known fact that Luxembourg is the 6th smallest country in all of Europe.
Tomorrow we're renting a car and heading north to see some of the castles. It's been a while since I've driven so should be quite the adventure! This particular shot was taken around Ponte Adolphe, the bridge that you see to the right. Right at twilight the clouds got really great so I'm pleased with the way this turned out.
I'll be creating a Luxembourg set later this week to show you some other pics from our trip as well.
I recommend pressing "L" to view large on black!

Een tram op de Pont Adolphe in Luxemburg. Erachter het Palais de la Banque et caisse d'épargne de l'État uit 1913, kortweg het Spuerkeessgebai in het Luxemburgs. De tram is eind 2020 hierlangs gaan doorrijden naar het station (het torentje in de verte) en sindsdien is de lijn nog tweemaal verder verlengd.
De tramlijn heeft bovenleiding vanaf het station, en ook op het andere uiteinde van de lijn. Daartussenin voeden de CAF-trams zichzelf vanuit batterijen en supercondensatoren, die worden opgeladen met remenergie en vanuit voedingspunten tussen de rails op de haltes

A tram on Pont Adolphe in Luxemburg, with behind it Palais de la Banque et caisse d'épargne de l'État - National bank and Savings bank Palace - dating from 1913. The tram line was extended 2020 to the station - one can see the tower in the distance - and since then another two times
The tramway is equipped with overhead supply only on the part from the station, as well as on the other outer part of the line. In between, the CAF-built cars are powered by batteries and supercapacitators, charged by regenerative braking and by ground level charging points at the stops
