"Photo prise le 10 octobre 2020 lors de la visite de l’exposition « EQUATEUR 1893 – 1924 »
d’Emmanuel Honorato Vasquez. J’ai adoré cette exposition et je me suis intéressé aux visiteurs et à leurs réactions ! J’aime l’ambiance des trois personnages qui admirent et se délectent de la photo de Vasquez ! Le regard et la position de ces trois visiteurs (sans doute une mère avec ses deux filles) est en parfaite harmonie, un vrai moment de bonheur partagé !"

George Weikert was born around 1801 and moved to the Gettysburg area from Maryland in 1838. He bought the 78 acre farm north of Little Round Top in 1852.
George and his family left the farm during the fighting. Afterwards they returned to scenes of desolation familiar to many Gettysburg residents. The house was a field hospital, with wounded filling the parlor and amputated arms and legs piled outside the windows. According to family history, six men died just in the parlor, and the yard was filled with graves. When the buried were exhumed to be placed in the National Cemetery, the missing parlor rug was found, cut into strips as the top and bottom layers of the burial trench.
After the battle the farm was purchased by survivors of the New Jersey Brigade to presrve the land that the brigade held during the battle. The New Jersey Brigade’s monument is about 200 yards east of Weickert farmhouse. The farm today is owned by the National Park Service.
George Sandys (1578-1644) was a British poet and politician. After studying at Oxford he became colonial treasurer for agriculture and industry of the Virginia Company. In his lifetime he was much admired as a translator of Latin poetry. Sandys travelled in the East in the years 1610-1611, starting out from France. He sailed from Venice to the Ionian Islands, the southern Peloponnese, Chios, Lesbos, and the Straits of the Dardanelles from where he reached Constantinople. From there he sailed to Egypt, and visited Mount Sinai and the Holy Land. On his return trip, he put in at Cyprus, Sicily, Naples and Rome.
Sandy’s chronicle is the first detailed and polished travel account, with well-documented information from ancient sources cited in marginal notes. As such, it marks the transition from travel literature of the sixteenth century to that of the seventeenth. It is also representative of those travel narratives that oscillate between geography, history and autobiographical travelogue of fluid and contradictory character. Sandys strives to transmit original and unique geographical and anthropological knowledge, while at the same time increasingly expressing his own opinions and interpretations of what he sees.
This publication, enriched with in-text copperplate engravings with original subjects, made an essential contribution to geographical and ethnographical knowledge in its time. It was translated into German and Flemish, and ran through nine editions in the seventeenth century alone. Besides passages from the Holy Scripture (1621-1626), Sandys translated and annotated Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The publication of the latter work in 1632, with citations from philosophers and commentaries by ancient authors, alongside his translation of the first book of Virgil’s "Aeneid", established Sandys as an authority in literary circles of his era.

İngiliz asıllı şair ve siyaset adamı George Sandys (1578-1644), Oxford'da öğrenim görür, bir İngiltere kolonisi olan Virginia Company'de tarım ve endüstri konularında veznedar mevkiinde bulunur. Antik Latin ozanları şiirlerinin çevirisinde gösterdiği üstün yetenek yüzünden yaşadığı devirde bu konuda bir otorite sayılmaktaydı. 1610-11 yıllarında Doğu'ya seyahatine Fransa'dan yola çıkarak başlar. Venedik'ten gemiyle kalkıp İyon adaları, güney Peloponez (Mora), Sakız, Midilli'ye uğrar ve Çanakkale Boğazından geçip İstanbul'a varır. Oradan gine gemiyle Mısır'a gider, Sina dağını, Kutsal Yerleri (Kudüs'ü) ziyaret eder. Dönüşünde ise Kıbrıs, Sicilya, Napoli ve Roma'dan geçer.
Özenle ve ayrıntılarla yazılmış ilk seyahatnamelerden biri olan yapıtında verdiği bilgileri antik kaynaklara yaptığı ve sayfa kenarlarına eklediği göndermelerle kanıtlar. Bu seyahatname 16. yüzyılda yazılan seyahatname türünden 17. yüzyılınkine "geçiş"in habercisi olur. Coğrafya ile tarih hatta özyaşam anlatısı arasında gidip gelen değişken ve çelişik karakterli seyahatnamelerin bir örneğidir. Metinde bilgi aktarımının başarılabilmesi yolunda özel bir gayret algılıyoruz. Bu bilgiler coğrafya ve insanbilim (antropoloji) içerikli olup özgün ve nadir niteliktedir. Aynı zamanda metnin akışı boyunca gezginin gittikçe derinliğine inen yorumlayıcı bakışı araya girmekte.
Metin aralarında yer alan ve özgün konular sergileyen bakır gravürlerle tamamlanan kitap zamanın coğrafya ve insanbilim bilgilerinin çoğalmasında esaslı bir biçimde katkıda bulunur, almanca ve flamancaya çevrilir ve sadece 17. yüzyıl içinde dokuz kez yeniden basılır. Sandys İncil'den parçalar çevirisinden başka (1621-26), Ovidius'un Metamorphoses adlı yapıtını çevirip açıklamalar eşliğinde yayınlar. Bu yapıt 1632'de felsefik özdeyişler ve antik çağ yazarlarından yorumlarla zenginleşmiş olarak, hatta Vergilius'un Aeneis destanının bir kısmının çevirisini de kapsayarak yayınlanınca Sandys çağının entelektüeller dünyasında son derece saygın bir konuma gelir.

St George (George of Lydda) 280-303, was born of a wealthy Christian family of noble origin, in the city of Lod (Lydda) in Palestine. Anastasios, his father, was martyred by the Roman Governor for being a Christian and his mother, Theopista, raised him in a Christian household. At the age of 17, he joined the Roman army and became a member of the Praetorian Guard of the Roman Emperor Diocletian (r.284-305), and was tortured and sentenced to death for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. He is immortalized in the legend of St George and the dragon. It must be mentioned that there is both a Greek and a Latin version of the evnts of his life, which are at variance.
