The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Ern. Thill of Brussels.
The monument in the Place du Faubourg St. Paul in Dinant records the execution by firing squad of 83 Dinant citizens, of whom 45 were women, by the invading Germans on the 23rd. August 1914.
The Battle of Dinant
The Battle of Dinant was an engagement fought by French and German forces in and around the Belgian town of Dinant in the Great War, during the German invasion of Belgium.
On the morning of the 15th. August 1914, German troops captured the Citadel of Dinant which overlooked the town; the Citadel was recaptured by a French counter-attack during the afternoon.
French troops spent the next few days fortifying the Meuse crossings and exchanging fire with German troops on the east bank.
A German raiding-party drove into Dinant on the night of the 21st. August, but the attack degenerated into a fiasco in which the Germans fired at each other.
Rather than assume that the small-arms fire had come from the French on the west bank, the Germans blamed Belgian civilians, killing seven and burning down 15 to 20 houses in reprisal. The raiders ran away, with 19 dead and 117 wounded.
On the 23rd. August, the Germans attacked Dinant again, under the impression that the town was full of francs-tireurs (snipers; terrorists to the Germans) and massacred 674 unarmed Belgian civilians, while fighting the French, who were dug in along the west bank and on the east end of the bridge.
The massacre was a systematic attack on assumed civilian resisters, and was the largest German atrocity perpetrated during the invasion, which became known as The Rape of Belgium.
Background to the Battle
In 1914, Dinant had a population of 7,000 people, and was an important strategic crossing on the Meuse, where the river flows through a south–north gorge. Three roads and a path converged on the town from the east, over an escarpment and down into the town, along which an attack from the east would come.
The wooded ridge on the east bank was topped by the Napoleonic era stone Citadel of Dinant overlooking the town and the Meuse bridge, 100 m (330 ft) below.
In 1914 there was a ribbon of streets about 4 km (2.5 mi) long on the east bank, a few hundred metres wide. Before the battle, the Mayor of Dinant urged the population to not take part in the fighting, and forbade manifestations in support of the Allies.
Prelude to the Battle: 6th. - 14th. August
The first steps in the German invasion of France began with the Occupation of Luxembourg and the invasion of Belgium on the 4th. August. Five German infantry brigades, three cavalry divisions with horse artillery and machine-gun detachments and ten Jäger battalions crossed the Belgian border.
The 5th. Cavalry Division advanced through Luxembourg and entered Belgium on the 10th. August, with orders to advance 60 km (37 mi) north-west to Dinant and then scout the Meuse as far as the French border near Givet.
The town of Dinant was close to the French border, between Liège and Mons on the east bank of the Meuse. On the 6th. August, Belgian engineers dispersed a patrol of German hussars at Anseremme and on the 12th. August, French infantry at Dinant destroyed a cavalry patrol.
By the 14th. August, the French Fifth Army had occupied Dinant and the west bank of the Meuse. The next day, the main force of the German 3rd. Army, commanded by Colonel-General Max von Hausen, arrived.
The 15th. August
On the 15th. August, the 12th. Freyberg Jäger Battalion and the 13th. Garde-Jäger Battalion supported by horse artillery and machine-guns, attacked the town and citadel. The Germans got a machine-gun into the citadel around 11:45 a.m. and the French retreated through a small stairway along the cliff, having had 50 percent casualties. Jäger descended the stairway and advanced into the town by 1:30 p.m.
In Dinant a civilian had been killed, one had been wounded and the hospital and houses on the east bank had been hit by shells.
Night raid, 21st. August
A German raiding party mounted in motor vehicles attacked Dinant on the night of 21st. August and killed seven civilians and burned 15 to 20 houses. Germans claimed later that civilians had attacked them, although the civilians stated that it had been an attack by drunken soldiers. A German soldier wrote later that they had been ordered to:
"Kill everyone and wipe off the map one part
on the left bank of the Meuse!!!
It was a tremendously colossal honourable task,
and if successful, it would be famous for all time".
The Massacres of the 23rd. August
At 4:50 a.m. on the 23rd. August, in a thick fog, 57 German artillery batteries began to bombard Dinant.
Two German columns advanced into the Dinant town centre, along rue Saint-Jacques and a road down into Faubourg Saint-Nicolas and the Place d'Armes.
Three civilians were shot at the riverbank where they had fled from the soldiers, who later admitted that they had no idea if the victims had taken up arms. The Germans killed male civilians during the day, and at 5:30 p.m., 27 men were shot in the Rue des Tanneries.
The German troops barricaded streets with furniture and soldiers from IR 182 captured a man on suspicion of firing at them, although he was unarmed, and tied him to a barricade as a human shield. When German artillery mistakenly bombarded the force, the man was shot before the Germans withdrew.
German troops set fire to houses, and by late afternoon the area was on fire; in Leffe and St. Jacques 312 civilians had been killed by the Germans.
Near the town centre, Grenadier Regiment 100 entered Faubourg Saint-Nicolas, where they were fired on by French troops. The Germans had anticipated attacks by civilians, and each time they reached a door they stopped, fired through windows and threw bombs into the cellars.
To cross the Place d'Armes, which was visible to the French across the river, the Germans used civilians as a human shield. Dinantais forced from houses were held at an iron works and the prison in the Place d'Armes. German soldiers on high ground outside the town fired on civilians in the prison courtyard for a time.
In the late afternoon, 19 men at the ironworks were shot; the rest were taken to the Place d'Armes, being made to shout, "Long live Germany! Long live the Kaiser!" along the way.
Soldiers of GR 100 separated 137 men, lined them up against a garden wall and shot them, on the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel von Kielmannsegg, the Battalion commander.
A local magistrate was sent across the river to warn francs-tireurs that the hostages would be shot if the firing continued. The magistrate returned having been shot and wounded by the Germans on the way and said that only French soldiers were firing.
After more gunfire, civilians were lined up against a wall and shot. Of the 77 victims, seven were men over 70, 38 were women or girls, and 15 were children under 14 (seven being babies).
When the Grenadiers reached the west bank, they killed 86 civilians in Neffe; 23 civilians found hiding under a railway viaduct were shot, and 43 were taken to the east bank and shot there.
Aftermath of the Battle
On the 24th. August, the area of Dinant south of the bridge, which had not been attacked on the 23rd., was systematically burned down by the Germans.
Dinant was looted, and German troops destroyed public and historic buildings, including the collegial church and the town hall.
When IR 178 crossed the Meuse to Bouvignes, 31 villagers were killed. The Germans claimed that the civilians helped the French, and 19 people, including two ten-year-olds from Hastière-par-Delà, were killed and the village burned.
Survivors later gave evidence recorded by the Belgian Second Commission report. The Tschoffen wall massacre was not committed to punish alleged francs-tireurs, because the soldiers knew the victims were innocent as individuals.
However they perceived them as collectively responsible for the actions of supposed francs-tireurs. When people asked the guards why they had been assembled in the iron works:
"Some said it was for our own safety.
Others said we were to be executed
for shooting".
Casualties and Commemoration
Fires set by the Germans on the night raid of the 21st. August provoked the flight of 2,500 inhabitants the next day.
On the 23rd. August, about 674 civilians were massacred, 1,200 houses were burned down and 400 people were deported to Germany and interned until November.
This massacre was the largest of "The Rape of Belgium", which was instrumental in the US involvement in the war.
The killings continued on the 24th. August; houses burned for days and lit up the countryside and the stench of corpses polluted the air as they decomposed in the sun.
The Germans lost 1,275 men killed and about 3,000 wounded, and the French had about 1,100–1,200 casualties in the fighting around Dinant.
In the 4th. Infantry Brigade (Général de Brigade Philippe Pétain), Lieutenant Charles de Gaulle was among the first to be wounded, receiving a bullet in the fibula.
On the 6th. May 2001, Walter Kolbow, a high secretary at the German Ministry of Defence, placed a wreath and bowed before a monument in Dinant to the victims bearing the inscription:
'To the 674 Dinantais martyrs,
innocent victims of German
barbarism'.

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).

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...

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by L. C. H. The card has a divided back.
Enemy artillery during the Great War targeted churches, cathedrals and other tall buildings because of their value as observation posts. Shells aimed at churches which just missed their target tended to fall in the churchyards, throwing up gravestones, coffins and corpses.
'The Shell' by H. Smalley Sarson
'Shrieking its message the flying death
Cursed the resisting air,
Then buried its nose by a battered church,
A skeleton gaunt and bare.
The brains of science, the money of fools
Had fashioned an iron slave
Destined to kill, yet the futile end
Was a child's uprooted grave'.
Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
Visé Paris
The reference to 'Visé Paris' means that the image has been inspected by the military authorities in the French capital and deemed not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' signifies that the card was published during or soon after the end of the Great War.
Vermandovillers
Vermandovillers is a commune in the Somme département in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It is situated 26 miles (42 km) east of Amiens.
A Great War Battle at Vermandovillers
A German attack occurred on the 24th. September 1914. It was partially blocked by the 75th. Infantry Regiment at Vermandovillers’ Etoilé woods near to Herleville.
The front was stabilised for two years until the spearhead attack of the 4th. September 1916 at edge of Etoilé woods. The attack had been assigned to the 132nd. Division of the 10th. Army, against heavily concreted machine gun bunkers that the Germans had been building for 2 years.
The battle ended on the 9th. September 1916 because of lack of troops. The 158th., the 366th. Infantry Regiment and the 1st. Battalion Chasseurs showed exemplary conduct and suffered heavy losses.
Between the 4th. and 9th. September 1916, the 86th. Brigade lost 1,071 men, the 264th. Brigade lost 1,513 and 108th. Brigade 1,580.
These figures account for the fact that within a 5 kilometre (3 mile) radius around Vermandovillers, there are buried 1,261 French soldiers. 22,632 German soldiers lie in the Vermandovillers German war cemetery, including the writers Reinhard Johannes Sorge and Alfred Lichtenstein.
In the Somme there are 410 Commonwealth cemeteries,
22 French Military cemeteries and 14 German cemeteries.
The largest of them is the German cemetery situated on the
French front at Vermandovillers. 10,000 men were laid to rest under black crosses; the remainder were buried in 15 mass graves.
The British are not counted because although many were killed in the fighting, they are buried mainly near the Villers–Bretonneux Australian National Memorial.
A Poem About the Battle of the Somme
'It was 1916 on the 1st of July
That artillery and smoke blackened the sky.
Shots rang out and men fell dead,
The sky was black, while the ground was red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme.
While artillery rained down on the German side
The allies swallowed their fear and stood with pride.
Waiting to be ordered over the top,
To run without question, don’t look back and don’t stop.
But this is when the slaughter started,
Machine guns screamed out as bodies and limbs became parted.
Fifty-eight thousand casualties in one single day
‘A necessary loss’ the Generals would say.
‘We will rest for now and recommence tomorrow
No time for the men to indulge in their sorrow’
So they readied the next batch of men for the slaughter,
Would they fare better when faced with the mortars?
The answer to this question was obviously no
As the casualty counts continued to grow.
For every single centimetre of ground that was taken
The lives of two men were sadly forsaken.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Yet as they made progress towards German lines,
The allies had one thing in the front of their minds.
For the Germans had a weapon the allies had yet to discover
One that would find men even if they took cover.
As the allied assault drew nearer and nearer
The time to use this weapon had never been clearer.
The little grey canisters flew through the air
Giving the allied forces more than a scare.
The men now engaged in a fight for their lives,
They could not protect themselves with their guns or their knives.
Their only weapon now was a mask
But fitting it in time was a very hard task.
‘Gas, Gas!’ some men would cry
Most had masks, the rest would die.
Their screams could be heard as they approached their death,
Blood curdled in their lungs as they drew their last breath.
Eventually their eyes would roll back in their head
And with a final twitch and spasm they lay still, dead.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Even with the threat of the German gas,
It was time for a final allied assault to mass.
And with this Britain unveiled their tank
When the battle ended they had this to thank.
It stormed over No-Man’s Land, through German wire,
The Germans shook in fear as it prepared to fire.
For the British troops it opened the way,
For the deaths of their comrades the Germans would pay.
And the German death count grew and grew
As the allied assault continued to break through.
And though the fighting had not ended,
The morale of the allies began to get mended.
They pushed with valor towards their objective,
With a new vigour the Germans had not expected.
Although the enemy held, and did not retreat
This battle is viewed as a German defeat.
It was 1916 on the 21st of November
That the five month long battle was finally over.
No shots rang out but thousands were dead,
The sky was still black, the ground was stained red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme'.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
Hagerstown, Indiana (September 10, 2012) The new Model T Ford Museum is slated to hold its grand opening during Richmond’s Octoberfest on September 28 at 6 p.m. The museum which was previously located in Centerville, Indiana near the Warm Glow Candle Factory for 5 years moved just a few miles east to Richmond, Indiana’s Historical Depot District this past spring.
Since the move to Richmond volunteers have been steadily preparing the museum’s new home, displays and vehicles for the event.
Today, a photo shoot for the Model T Museum’s newly acquired 1930 Pietenpol Sky Scout was held at the Hagerstown Airport.
The plan arrived at the airport around 10:00 a.m. this morning and was assembled by Model T enthusiasts and many of them brought their own Model Ts to use during the photo shoot.
One of the people there today was Mr. Jay Klehfoth who is the CEO and publisher of the Vintage Ford Magazine.
Jay is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to all things Model T. I was to learn he’s pretty knowledgeable in a lot of areas too. During our walk around of the plane Jay pointed out one of the parts for the engine had been made by a former factory in Richmond of all places. And there are many other special things about this airplane I’m sure he’ll be writing about in the next issue of the the Vintage Ford Magazine. He not only knew a lot about the Pietenpol Sky Scout plane that was being photographed for the magazine cover. He’s pretty sharp when it comes to airports too. He said that the Hagerstown airport were today’s photo shoot was done has the longest grass landing strip in the United States which to me made it the perfect place for today’s event.
This Pietenpol that will be on display at the museum is powered by a 20 HP Model T engine which was modified to include dual-ignition which is used in aviation. According to an article in the AntiqueAirfield.com website from September 10, 2012 there was only one original Pietenpol Sky Scout built by Bernard Pietenpol himself, and just two replicas. The article also said that all 3 were still flying.
The new Model T Ford Museum is going to be an exciting addition to what is one of Indiana’s grandest historical areas and a must in this part of the Midwest.
Richmond is a perfect place for any day trip. But, if you want to see all that Richmond has to offer you’ll need to plan on staying several days.
The Model T Ford Museum is located in Richmond’s Historic Depot District at 309 N 8th St, Richmond, IN 47374 - 765-488-0026.

Un live che fa Roar: dopo l'enorme successo dei suoi recenti concerti nel Regno Unito, che hanno ottenuto critiche entusiasmanti sia dai fan che dai media, la superstar internazionale Katy Perry annuncia oggi che tornerà in Europa nel 2015, e farà tappa in 18 paesi, tra cui Milano, con il suo spettacolare ‘Prismatic World Tour'.
«'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar, louder, louder than a lion»
Katy Perry, Roar
La star internazionale più zuccherosa (vi ricordate il video di California Gurls?) e contemporaneamente la più aggressiva e divertente (avete presente il suo look di Roar?). Katy Perry è questo e molto di più: la più trasformista (in Birthday, video del brano omonimo tratto da Prism interpreta cinque personaggi diversi, dall'anziana ballerina con la passione per l'alcol al pagliaccio Kriss e così via, sempre irriconoscibile). La più romantica, in versione Teenage Dream, esplosiva in versione Firework, aliena in versione ET, insomma la piccola Katy è una stella a 360 gradi. E non si ferma mai: "Sono una campionessa e mi sentirai ruggire più forte di un leone", appunto, come canta in mezzo alla giungla.
Energica, coloratissima, talentuosa, in pochi anni è diventata la regina del pop worldwide, quella con gli album sempre in vetta alle classifiche e non è cosa da poco, considerando la concorrenza che, puntualmente, la signora di I kissed a girl riesce a sbaragliare. Prism è la sua ultima fatica, successo commerciale indiscusso, merito di singoli power pop come Roar, appunto, o più sofisticati, dai toni pastello, come Uncoditionally. Il tour europeo di tanto trasformismo in azione prevede una tappa al Mediolanum Forum. The Prismatic World Tour arriva infatti a Milano il 21 febbraio. Imperdibile.
The Postcard
A postcard published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The card was posted in Margate on Friday the 19th. September 1919 to:
Miss G. Stiles,
36, Brookwood Road,
Southfields,
London S.W.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Churchfield Boarding
House,
Churchfields,
Margate.
Dear Grace,
We are having a ripping
time.
Our faces are quite sore
being sunburnt.
Fancy George being in
England.
I am glad I have an extra
week's holiday, I want the
time we have down here
not to go quickly.
Love from Rose".
The Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Royal Tunbridge Wells originally produced Christmas cards before becoming a major publisher and printer of tourist albums, guide books, and postcards.
These mainly captured worldwide views as real photos, or were printed in black & white, monochrome, and color.
They also published many advertising, comic, silhouette, novelty, panoramic, and notable artist-signed cards in named series as well. The huge number of titles that Photochrom produced may well exceed 40,000.
In 1896 they took over Fussli’s London office established three years earlier, and began publishing similar photo-chromolithographic postcards after securing the exclusive English licence for the Swiss photochrom process.
This technique was used to produce a great number of view-cards of both England and Europe. While they captured the same fine details as the Swiss prints, their colours were much softer and reduced.
Apart from their better known photochroms, they produced their Celesque series of view-cards printed in tricolor.
One of the largest unnamed series that Photochrom produced was of view-cards printed in brown rotogravure. Many of these cards were simply hand coloured with a dominant red and blue, which gives these cards a distinct appearance. They are similar to cards produced in their Photogravure and Velvet Finish Series.
Photochrom postcard series include:
-- Night Series - Line block halftone over a blue tint depicting London.
-- Carbofoto Series - Black & white real photo cards.
-- Sepiatone Series - Sepia real photo cards.
-- Grano Series - View-cards printed in black & white.
-- Exclusive Photo-Color Series - View-cards printed in colour.
-- Duotype Process Series - View-cards printed in two tones.
Cliftonville
Cliftonville is a coastal area of the town of Margate, situated to the east of the main town. It contains the area known as Palm Bay.
The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930's as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co. on the 23rd. June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue.
East Cliftonville
The Palm Bay estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville, and was fields before the first avenue was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. The later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a modern-style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930's estate.
The eastward expansion of Cliftonville has included much of the former parish of Northdown, including Northdown Park and House.
West Cliftonville
West Cliftonville was originally developed as the up-market alternative to bustling Margate, and had many small private hotels and guest houses with outstanding Victorian architecture which catered for the many visitors to what was in the first half of the 20th. century a thriving holiday resort.
Many of the large hotels have been converted into one bed flats; this has brought about positive action from Thanet District Council which introduced selective licensing, ensuring that quality home improvements are maintained by landlords (2006) and restricting planning permission for one bedroom flats (2007).
Cliftonville now has many of its streets protected by conservation area orders. The seafront area once included many large hotels, including at one time a large Butlins complex. Some fantastic hotels remain, e.g. Smiths Court Hotel overlooking the sea, and The Walpole Bay Hotel.
Tourism and visitor numbers have increased in Cliftonville (2018) with the addition of newly opened bed and breakfasts changing the Cliftonville landscape. Northdown Road and Cliff Terrace have also had a resurgence, with many trendy and hip businesses opening up.
The Oval Bandstand and lawns run by community group GRASS Cliftonville bring an opportunity to bring community engagement to Cliftonville, and they host a monthly award-winning farmers' market on the last Sunday of every month.
During the summer there are a number of activities and events, including musical shows. The Tom Thumb Theatre brings a host of music events and theatre to Cliftonville.
Writing and Poetry
During the first half of the 20th. century, Cliftonville was considered the fashionable hotel quarter of Margate. It was during the autumn of 1921 that T. S. Eliot spent a period of convalescence at the Albermarle Hotel. His widow has confirmed that he found inspiration for, and wrote significant sections of 'The Waste Land' in the Grade II listed Nayland Rock promenade shelter.
The spirit of early 20th. century Margate and Cliftonville was caught by John Betjeman (1906 - 1984) in his poem "Margate 1940":
Margate 1940
From out The Queen's Highcliffe for weeks at a stretch
I watched how the mower evaded the vetch,
So that over the putting-course rashes were seen
Of pink and of yellow among the burnt green.
How restful to putt, when the strains of a band
Announced a thé dansant was on at The Grand,
While over the privet, comminglingly clear,
I heard lesser Co-Optimists down by the pier.
How lightly municipal, meltingly tarr'd,
Were the walks through the lawns by the Queen's Promenade
As soft over Cliftonville languished the light
Down Harold Road, Norfolk Road, into the night.
Oh! then what a pleasure to see the ground floor
With tables for two laid as tables for four,
And bottles of sauce and Kia-Ora and squash
Awaiting their owners who'd gone up to wash -
Who had gone up to wash the ozone from their skins
The sand from their legs and the rock from their chins,
To prepare for an evening of dancing and cards
And forget the sea-breeze on the dry promenades.
From third floor and fourth floor the children looked down
Upon ribbons of light in the salt-scented town;
And drowning the trams roared the sound of the sea
As it washed in the shingle the scraps of their tea.
Beside The Queen's Highcliffe now rank grows the vetch,
Now dark is the terrace, a storm-battered stretch;
And I think, as the fairy-lit sights I recall,
It is those we are fighting for, foremost of all.
We know from Betjeman's letters that he visited Margate in 1929 while staying at nearby Birchington with his convalescing employer.
This visit alone would have been sufficient to acquaint him with Margate's pre-war gaiety, the innocent pleasures it offered as a family seaside resort, as well as the more upmarket pretensions of its eastern extension, Cliftonville.
There were probably subsequent visits, one of which must have taken place in the early years of the second World War, as recorded in the poem 'Margate, 1940'.
The evocation of the resort's former glories poignantly conjures up, by contrast, the neglected, bomb-battered desolation it had become.
Note: 'Vetch' is a climbing plant in the pea/legume family. It produces small, pealike flowers (often blue, purple, yellow, or white). It grows quickly and is highly valued in farming for forage (animal feed) and as green manure. Like other legumes, vetches host bacteria on their roots that take nitrogen from the air and convert it into a natural fertilizer, thereby improving soil health.
Trevor Howard
The actor Trevor Howard was born in Cliftonville on the 29th. September 1913.
Sugar Consumption in the U.S.
So what else happened on the day that Rose posted the card?
Well, on the 19th. September 1919, the Chicago Tribune reported that the consumption of sugar in the United States for the first 7 months of 1919 was 362,000 tons more than during the corresponding period in the previous year.
This was according to statistics compiled by the United States Sugar Equalization Board.
This represents an increased per capita consumption of one pound per month. So now you know.

Rösel van Rosenhof A. J. De natuurlyke historie der Insecten, Voorzien met naar 't leven getekende en gekoleurde plaaten. Met zeer nutte en fraaie aanmerkingen verrykt, door C. F. Kleeman. 1764 - 1788. 4 parts and very rare supplement bound in 9 volumes.
One of the most beautiful entomological publications of the 18th century. This Dutch edition is more attractive than the original German edition, which was published in Nuremberg from 1746-1792. The Dutch edition is printed on almost twice as large, much thicker, paper, and has far better colouring. The translation was made by C. Kleemann, the son-in-law of the author. He added new material and the excellent colouring of the plates is by him and his wife Katharina Barbara Roesel von Rosenhof. Kleemann also published a "Vervolg" with 26 plates, which was never finished and which is present. "Roesel, who studied at first with his father and then with his uncle Wilhelm, an animal painter in Merseburg, later became a pupil of the famous Preisler in Nuremberg. After living in Copenhagen from 1726 to 1728 he returned to Nuremberg for good, and there, besides painting portraits and drawings, he applied himself in particular to the study of nature. He collected insects, their eggs and larvae, studied the process of hatching, pupation, and emergence, and painted all this in a most meticulous way, as Kleeman tells us. His manuscripts, with 406 illustrations, are now in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. Roesel also made the engravings of his drawings ..." (Nissen, Bestiaries).
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!
