Today I finished the faceup of my Dreaming El head, which was waiting since last Christmas for some colour!
His look is inspired from the early 80's New Romantic / Blitz Kids scene (like Boy George used to look before he got popular ^^).
Fort George was built on a massive scale , but the British army continued to grow in size throughout the 1700's . In the year 1780 , 1,600 men slept in these barrack blocks - two to a bed and eight to a room .
In the early days there were no separate mess rooms , so the men took their daily rations from the stores and cooked for themselves. Daily life must have been very dull , with only drills and guard duties to break the boredom .
One in every 100 soldiers was allowed to have his wife and children live in the barracks too . In exchange for doing chores for the men the women received half rations . Their only privacy was a blanket across their corner of the crowded , smelly room .
The soldier is Private John Anderson . The woman is married to one of his room mates - but as soldier's wives were not recorded we will never know her name .

George (son) at Chaplin Bay on Bermuda's South Shore, Warwick Parish.
Not sure why George is shading his camera but perhaps it's to give him a glare-free view of his camera screen.
Here is a view of the entire little bay: flic.kr/p/8TqfB2. It is named after the famous English film actor, Charlie Chaplin as explained in the description to that photo.

Description / Descriptions :
This may be a portrait of George Matthews (flourishing ca. 1816-1866) of the Montreal firm Matthews Lithography, who was a partner of George Burland. A lithographer by this name, possibly the sitter in this portrait, was active at Cavagnol (near Hudson) from 1857-1858. The artist was a successful American miniaturist who worked in Connecticut and New Orleans, but largely in New York; he exhibited his work from 1829 to 1860. Although not characteristic of his later, large rectangular works, this portrait of the youthful sitter may be an example of an earlier style. Encasing a lock of the sitter's hair was a practice characteristic to miniature production that added to the intimate and personal quality of the keepsake. /
Il s'agit peut-être d'un portrait de George Matthews (période florissante de 1816 à 1866 environ) de la firme montréalaise Matthews Lithography, partenaire de George Burland. Un lithographe de ce nom, peut-être le sujet de ce portrait, exerça sa profession à Cavagnol (près d'Hudson) à partir de 1857-1858. L'artiste était un miniaturiste américain prospère qui travailla au Connecticut et à la Nouvelle-Orléans, mais surtout à New York; il exposa son oeuvre de 1829 à 1860. Même s'il n'est pas caractéristique de ses tableaux ultérieurs, rectangulaires et plus grands, ce portrait du jeune homme illustre peut-être un style antérieur. L'enchâssement d'une tresse de cheveux du sujet était une pratique caractéristique de la production de miniatures. Il rendait l'article souvenir encore plus intime et personnel.
