Notes: Baron Louis Adolphe Humbert de Molard, born in Paris on October 30, 1800 and died on March 17, 1874, was a French pioneer of photography. From the beginning of the 1840s, Baron Humbert de Molard became interested in the first photographic techniques. He is one of those wealthy amateurs who were passionate about this emerging art. After the death of his first wife, he remarried in 1843 with Henriette Renée Patu, miniaturist designer and lithographer, who owned land in Lagny-sur-Marne. From 1843 to 1850, he produced a series of daguerreotypes but gradually favored the calotype technique , which he experimented with from 1844. He was partly trained by his friend Hippolyte Bayard . He used other techniques, such as albumen printing and wet collodion . He came into contact with Abel Niépce de Saint-Victor to try to improve certain processes and then became the defender of the development techniques promoted by Gustave Le Gray. His productions have remarkable pictorial qualities and reveal a great mastery of the technical stages (lighting, emulsion, development). He staged activities related to the peasant world, as well as several gender figures, helped by his steward and model named Louis Dodier. In 1854, he was a founding member of the Société française de photographie and sought to promote various techniques of development on paper from negatives and resigned in 1864 for health reasons. He published his research between 1851 and 1866 in the journal La Lumière, which was for a time the bulletin of the Société héliographique de Paris. (Source: Wikipedia)

While contemporary with the Impressionists, Bouguereau's almost photographic realism is the opposite of Impressionism. When Pierre-August Renoir was being fitted with glasses, he is reported to have thrown them down, crying, "Good God, I see like Bouguereau!"

WILLIAM-ADOLPHE BOUGUREAU (1825 - 1905) was a French academic painter. In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body. During his life he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work. As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde. By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art fell out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes. In the 1980s, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work. Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 known finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown
The Postcard
A Claremont Series postcard that was posted in Oldham using a ½d. stamp on Tuesday the 31st. August 1915. It was sent to:
Mrs. Clegg,
c/o Mrs. Jackson,
14 Grafton Road,
Off Alexandra Road,
Morecambe.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Florrie,
Hoping you are having
a fine time over there
as I am here.
The weather has not
kept me in.
With fondest love from
Annie W. xxxx"
The Death of an Ace Pilot
So what else happened on the day that Annie posted the card?
Well, on the 31st. August 1915, the first-ever French flying ace, Adolphe Pégoud, was killed in combat. He had scored six victories.
Pégoud was shot down and killed by Unteroffizier Otto Kandulski, who had been his pupil, while intercepting a German reconnaissance aircraft. Adolphe was 26 years old when he died.
The same German crew later dropped a funeral wreath behind the French lines.
Two weeks later, Kandulski was shot down by the French pilot Roger Ronserail, earning Ronserail the title "Le Vengeur de Pégoud" ("The avenger of Pégoud").
The Central Technical School
Also on that day, the Central Technical School was established in Toronto in order to offer high school students courses in visual arts and technical studies.
Gretl Braun
The 31st. August 1915 also marked the birth in Munich of the German matriarch Gretl Braun. Gretl, who was sister to Eva Braun, was a member of the inner social circle of Adolf Hitler at the Berghof.
Gretl in fact became the sister-in-law of Hitler following his marriage to Eva, less than 40 hours before the couple killed themselves.
Gretl Braun married SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein, a liaison officer on Hitler's staff, on the 3rd. June 1944. In the closing days of World War II, Fegelein was shot for desertion.
Despite Gretl's ties to the Nazi regime, she managed to survive the war nearly completely unscathed. She changed her name, remarried, and lived a quiet life until her death in 1987.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau
French Academic Classicist Artist
Genre Painter
1825 – 1905
In this tender piece two sisters are escaping with a basket of stolen apples. The older sister is gently helping the younger off of a wall. One gets the sense when looking at this piece that the two girls have done this many times before, causing the love, companionship, and sense of shared mischief to be clearly and tenderly captured. This work is a great example of Bouguereau's amazing sense of composition. Both sisters are centered with the space between them being in the almost exact center of the canvas; the younger sister's knee countering the older sisters head. The green foliage hanging off the left side of the wall perfectly offsets the bush in the lower right; and the apples in the lower left are countered by the light area in the upper right. Even the wall is balanced with the bricks peaking through the wall to the lower left and the grass poking through on the upper right. Bouguereau painted another image of a young thief 28 years later called Little Thief which is an image of a young girl sitting on a wall, holding a single pear and smiling mischievously.
