The Postcard
A postcard that was published by A. E. Farrier of Thornton Heath. The card, which was printed in Saxony, was posted in Thornton Heath, Surrey on Thursday the 1st. September 1904 to:
Miss Bailey,
33, Hinstock Road,
Plumstead,
London S.E.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Still alive and very
much kicking.
Hope you are
likewise."
Karl Ernst
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 1st. September 1904, Karl Ernst was born in Berlin.
He became an SA- Gruppenführer who, in early 1933, was the SA leader in Berlin. Before joining the Nazi Party he had been a hotel bellboy and a bouncer at a gay nightclub.
The SA (short for Sturmabteilung), literally Storm Detachment, functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930's.
It has been suggested that it was Ernst who, with a small party of stormtroopers, set the Reichstag building on fire on the night of February 27th. 1933. There is evidence indirectly to substantiate this, although the consensus of nearly all historians is that Marinus van der Lubbe set the Reichstag on fire.
SA Leader Ernst Röhm had repeatedly called for a "second revolution" that would introduce socialism into the Reich and banish the old Conservative forces of business and government.
Fearing the socialistic tendencies of the SA, along with Röhm's ambition to absorb the Reichswehr into the SA, conservative elements in the German Army and Kriegsmarine pressed for an elimination of SA power.
The Night of the Long Knives
Adolf Hitler—who had served as Ernst's best man at his wedding six weeks earlier—undertook a purge of the SA, an event known to history as the Night of the Long Knives.
The Execution of Karl Ernst
Ernst was arrested in Bremerhaven together with his wife as he was about to get aboard a cruiser in order to travel to Madeira where he planned to spend his honeymoon.
He was handed over to an SS-commando unit, flown back to Berlin where he was shot by a firing squad in the early evening of the 30th. June 1934. He was 29 years old.
According to the official death list drawn up for internal-administrative use by the Gestapo, he was one of fourteen people shot in the grounds of the Leibstandarte.

This week, I came home to find a plaque that featured one of my photos. In the Fall, my photo was selected from over 500 photos as a winner and lead photo of the Annual Fall Photo contest. The paper has a distribution of approximately 415,000. It was fun to get the call while at WDW. Thanks for looking.
P.S. I have nothing to do with the bomber on the right ;-)
Der Spiegel (lit. "The Mirror") is a German weekly news magazine published in Hamburg. It is one of Europe's largest publications of its kind, with a weekly circulation of more than one million.
Der Spiegel is similar in style and layout to American news magazines such as Time or Newsweek. In terms of the breadth and amount of detail in its articles it is comparable to The Atlantic Monthly. It is known in Germany for its distinctive, academic writing style and its large volume—a standard issue may run 200 pages or more. Typically, it has a content to advertising ratio of 2:1.
Der Spiegel has a distinctive reputation for revealing political misconduct and scandals. It merited recognition for this as early as 1950, when the federal parliament launched an inquiry into Spiegel's accusations that bribed members of parliament had promoted Bonn over Frankfurt as the seat of West Germany's government.
During the Spiegel scandal in 1962, which followed the release of a report about the possibly low state of readiness of the German armed forces, minister of defence and conservative figurehead Franz Josef Strauß had Der Spiegel investigated. In the course of this investigation, the editorial offices were raided by police while Rudolf Augstein and other Der Spiegel editors were arrested on charges of treason. Despite a lack of sufficient authority, Strauß even went after the article's author, Conrad Ahlers, who was consequently arrested in Spain where he was on holiday. When the legal case collapsed, the scandal led to a major shake-up in chancellor Konrad Adenauer's cabinet and Strauß had to stand down. The affair was generally received as an attack on the freedom of the press. Since then, Der Spiegel has repeatedly played a significant role in revealing political grievances and misdeeds, including the Flick Affair.
The Spiegel scandal is now remembered for altering the political culture of post-war Germany and — with the first mass demonstrations and public protests — being a turning point from the old Obrigkeitsstaat (authoritarian state) to a modern democracy.
In 2010, the magazine supported WikiLeaks in publishing leaked materials from the United States State Department, along with The Guardian, The New York Times, El País, and Le Monde.

These four images plus two more images used as promos were in The Plain Dealer today. This is a full newspaper page in our Inside & Out section. Promo images are in photostream below.
Our daily circulation is 356,286 with daily readership estimated to be 883,690. So if only one in four readers finds this page, that's still 200,000 "hits," which is much better than this page will do on Flickr!
The images: Flying tigers, Julia butterfly, www.flickr.com/photos/jonfobes/106667951/ Pink orchid and Zebra butterfly.
I hadn't planned to, but I ended up writing the text block for these images, which reads:
Awesome. Orchids. Everywhere.
That pretty much sums up the Cleveland Botanical Garden's "Orchid Mania: Blossoms & Butterflies" show, running through March 26.
The other thing to know about the event can be summed up in even fewer words: bountiful butterflies, approximately three times more than normally seen in the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica biome in the Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse.
You'll see, among others, Postman, Cattleheart, Zebra Longwing and Julia butterflies and also the captivating Blue Morpho; you'll watch them flutter around orchids, ginger blossoms, leaves, branches and even land on visitors, providing magical moments that have patrons pointing their cameras in three directions at once and clicking shutters as fast as their fingers can function.
And don't forget to visit the spiny desert of Madagascar, also in the glasshouse. The resident chameleon is as beautiful as any flower.
But the stars of this show are the awesome orchids: Big orchids, small orchids, white orchids, purple orchids ... some peer out from frames as living artwork, others spring from free-standing orchid sculptures, and others congregate in pots that haunt every nook and cranny of the botanical garden.
As one weary worker said Thursday during setup for the show, "If there's such a thing as orchid overdose, this might be it!" But of course, there's no such thing as orchid overdose, just as there's no such thing as too much beauty – you always want more.
The Victorians coined the word "orchidelirium" to describe flower madness – now I know why.
Way back in 1908, a weekly - "A Conviccao" - was edited and published by Antonio Xavier Serrao at Cotula vaddo in Saligao village (Goa-India). The picture of the vintage newspaper shows the masthead of its issue dated January 23, 1909. I am anxious to see some of the oldest newspapers.
Says my erudite friend Fr Nascimento Mascarenhas, hailing from Saligao, "A Conviccao, news weekly, Saligao, Cotula. Editor and Publisher Antonio Xavier Serrao (began publishing it in his own printing press, from January 1908 and with some inturuptions, stopped publishing it from 18th May, 1912 no. 188, 4th year... Printed in small folio (no folio pequeno), published from 15th January 1887 to 1895, edited by Gustavo A.de Silva, Leopoldo C.da Gama, Pascoal Joao Gomes and others... May be the copies of this weekly are in the Central Library , Panjim, now shifted to Patto, Panjim. Kindly find out and photograph the first one of January 15, 1887. It will be great." By the way, Fr Nascimento has recently published his fifth Goa book LAND OF THE SAL TREE (pp 290), which contains stories of the history, legends and traditions of Saligao, a typical Goan village and illustrated by Mel D'Souza.

Once again... VISION Magazine - the leading Art Fashion magazine in China- gave me a part including an interview in their project - me representing Moscow among some other world metropols which are Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, London and New York. The theme of the project was the characters of metropols and how the photograhers capture it. Why they chose me? I also asked this question. According to the Editor's words; my images show the real essence of the city not only by itself but through the moments and emotions of the inhabitants, all together defining a character to the city in an honest way. I'm highly honored and happy that I'm doing something right good. :) P.S : I definitely would select different pictures however they've asked 60-70 shots and finally these were chosen for the final layout.
Published by Usborne books in 1979, The Detectives Handbook (also published as 3 separate books) was quite simply my favourite childhood book.
Usborne are always known for the wealth of their illustrations, and these were no different. Pages of Colin King's artwork that made me want to go out and copy it, and above all, I wanted that detectives office!
Description: Program published for the 1988 Ingleside Invaders baseball team. The programs were self-produced by the team under direction of their head coach Dan Harrington, with help from assistant coaches and other community members. Mr. Harrington has given his approval to the San Francisco Public Library for these publications to be reproduced here on Flickr in digital format. Mr. Harrington has written a description of these publications and the Ingleside Invaders baseball team...
"The last of the Sandlot League teams in San Francisco is the Ingleside Invaders, the only team to sign up in 1990 for the 18-and-under division of SF Rec-Park Baseball, the direct descendent of the Sandlot League known in the 1980s as the Neighborhood League. (I don't know when the Sandlot League started, but it is thought to have its origins before 1900).
"The Invaders ball club was a successful representative of the neighborhood, with players from many public, private and parochial high schools chipping in small amounts of money (no more than $25), getting to keep full uniforms; businesses donated funds (except for the Marines who still owe me fifty bucks!) while receiving ad-space for the team's self-produced publications showing stories about "the Greater Ingleside" history and contemporary times to the rest of San Francisco. The Invaders made some life-long friendships and fielded some good baseball teams!
"My recently passed father Richard Harrington took many of the photos, while my brother Richard Jr, who passed away in 1998, compiled some stats and kept book for many of the games. The 1986 paper stock was provided by the Coca-Cola bottlers on Bayshore Blvd. and printed by the team, complete with a team picture in the relatively new light rail vehicle (LRV) "streetcar" yard off Ocean Ave.
"Ingleside finished second in 1986, 87, and 88. Ingleside was surprised in a playoff game in 1989. But it did give the best example of multiple schools represented on the same summer team and a model to use for the RBI Baseball and Softball program run independently by Dan Harrington (calling in lots of favors for help) in 1997 at Crocker-Amazon and Balboa Park, and in conjunction with City College baseball courses (John Vanoncini) and Columbia Park and San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs from 1998 to 2010."

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

OM newsletter was published by Roger Priest, a seaman apprentice journalist assigned to the Pentagon and the Washington Navy Yard 1969-70 that criticized the brass, opposed the war in Vietnam and urged military personnel to form a union and had a national circulation of about 1,000.
Its publication resulted in a court martial for Priest where he faced charges of soliciting fellow soldiers to desert, urging insubordination and making statements disloyal to the United States that could have resulted in up to six years hard labor, forfeiture of pay and grade and a dishonorable discharge.
Priest was ultimately convicted of promoting disloyalty and given a reprimand, reduction in rank and a bad conduct discharge. At the time it was regarded as a victory for Priest.
In 1971, a panel of Navy appeals judges reversed that conviction and awarded Priest an honorable discharge, A later review of the case by Rear Admiral George Koch, commandant of the Washington Naval District, dropped the reprimand.

Steve Hackett presenta “Genesis Classics with Hackett Favourites Introducing Wolflight" all’Estathé Market Sound a Milano.
Da Acolyte a Wolflight con Genesis Revisited. Il leggendario Steve Hackett torna con un nuovo disco e un live set che è una “total experience” per gli amanti del prog e della musica. Senza confini di genere e di tempo.
Dopo due anni di successi e sold out, il leggendario chitarrista dei Genesis Steve Hackett continua la rivisitazione della sua carriera, con il meglio del repertorio Genesis, il 40ennale del primo album solista “Voyage of the Acolyte” e un nuovo capitolo appena scritto, “Wolflight”, che sta già scalando le classifiche.
Con una carriera e un repertorio che attraversa decenni di storia del rock, dai Genesis alla sua eccezionale carriera solistica, dopo i Genesis Revisited Tour del 2013 e 2014 che lo hanno portato in tutto il mondo, i premi e i concerti in teatri storici come la Royal Albert Hall, Steve Hackett annuncia il nuovo tour mondale che toccherà l'Italia nel settembre 2015.
Il live set includerà infatti i brani favoriti del Genesis Revisited, oltre all'omaggio al primo album solista e alla presentazione dal vivo di alcuni brani del nuovo album, capitolo più recente di una lunga carriera che lo ha portato a pubblicare, oltre ai 7 album con i Genesis, 30 album da solista e uno con il super gruppo GTR insieme con Steve Howe degli Yes e dell'Asia.
Un musicista che ha percorso la storia del rock e continua a percorrere i sentieri della creatività musicale.
Il nuovo album "Wolflight", uscito alla fine di marzo di quest'anno è il primo album originale in studio dopo "Beyond The Shrouded Horizon", del 2011. Porta l'ascoltatore in un lungo viaggio musicale, dalle antiche culture ai ricordi d'infanzia, da "Black Thunder" ispirata da Martin Luther King, a "Corycian Fire" ispirato ai luoghi mistici della Grecia antica a "Love Song To A Vampire" che si interroga sul difficile tema delle relazioni abusive.
Sul palco con Steve Hackett un eccezionale team di musicisti di altissimo livello: alle tastiere Roger King (Gary Moore) alla batteria, percussioni e voce Gary O'Toole (Kylie Minogue, Chrissie Hynde), al sax, flauto e percussioni Rob Townsend (Bill Bruford), al basso e chitarra Roine Stolte (Flower Kings), già special guest in Genesis Revisited e per la prima volta nella line up della band, e alla voce Nad Sylvan (Agents of Mercy).

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869
"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.
Image: The Old Albertina after 1920
It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognize anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
