The Postcard
An Art Colour Series postcard that was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London. The image is taken from an original watercolour by Brian Gerald.
The card was posted in Rothesay using a 2d. stamp on Friday the 27th. May 1949. It was sent to:
Mrs. Anthony Rogers,
30, Thurloe Street,
South Kensington,
London SW7.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Glen & I have just
enjoyed a lovely sail
down the Clyde.
Looking forward to
seeing you on
Saturday,
Love,
M."
Brian Gerald and Valentine & Sons
Walter Henry Sweet (1889 - 1949) studied at the Exeter School of Art under the guidance of the very successful watercolour artist, John Shapland. Working locally, he exhibited his paintings in the early 1900's.
'Brian Gerald' is a pseudonym, apparently made up from the first names of Walter's two sons.
He joined the Devonshire Regiment for the duration of the Great War and then moved to Dundee where he became a commercial illustrator for James Valentine & Sons, postcard makers.
The war took a considerable toll on his mental health and greatly damaged his art career, when he would have been in his prime. Nevertheless he was a prolific painter, primarily of street scenes, moorland, and seascapes for his employer.
While he covered the whole of the UK, Brian's work is particularly associated with coastal holiday destinations such as Cornwall, Devon, and the Isle of Wight.
Gerald also produced a famous series of art-drawn postcards documenting the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow, capturing Art Deco landmarks such as Tait's Tower and the various pavilions.
Valentine & Son printing company was founded in 1851 by James Valentine and went on to become the leading manufacturer of picture postcards in Scotland (which would have been from around the 1890's). They employed a number of artists to create their 'Art Series' range, of which Brian Gerald was arguably one of their best.
In total they created some 2,500 'Art Series' images using a number of artists, and many of these paintings were taken directly from photographic postcards already in the archives.
Purchased in 1963 by games manufacturer John Waddington Ltd, Valentine's was sold again in 1980 and ceased trading in 1994.
Gerhart Eisler
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 27th. May 1949, Gerhart Eisler was set free by a British magistrate who ruled that the US offence with which he was charged was not extraditable.
Gerhart Eisler (20th. February 1897 – 21st. March 1968) was a German politician, editor and journalist.
Along with his sister Ruth Fischer, he was a very early member of the Austrian German Communist Party, and then a prominent member of the Communist Party of Germany during the Weimar Republic.
Jo Ann Harris
The day also marked the birth in Los Angeles of Jo Ann Harris.
Jo Ann Harris, who was born Jo Ann Marcovitch, is an American actress known for her many film and television roles beginning in 1967.
In the 1971 film The Beguiled, she portrayed a 17-year-old who seduced Clint Eastwood's character.
Her other films include Maryjane (1968), The Gay Deceivers (1969), The Sporting Club (1971), The Parallax View (1974), Act of Vengeance (1974), Cruise into Terror (1978), and Deadly Games (1982).
Jo Ann's voice acting work includes the voice of Tina in the 1973 Hanna-Barbera animated series Goober and the Ghost Chasers, the animated film Oliver & Company (1988), and various episodic characters in The Simpsons.
Jo Ann was married for many years to television and film writer/producer Jerry Belson. They had two children together, Julie and Willi. Harris was widowed when Belson died in 2006.
Robert Ripley and Believe it or Not!
The 27th. May 1949 also marked the death at the age of 58 of Robert Ripley.
Robert Ripley was an American cartoonist, entrepreneur, and amateur anthropologist, who is known for creating the Ripley's Believe It or Not! newspaper panel series, television show, and radio show, which feature odd facts from around the world.
Subjects covered in Ripley's cartoons and text ranged from sports feats to little-known facts about unusual and exotic sites.
He also included items submitted by readers, who supplied photographs of a wide variety of small-town American trivia ranging from unusually shaped vegetables to oddly marked domestic animals, all documented by photographs and then depicted by his drawings.
-- Robert Ripley - The Early Years
LeRoy Robert Ripley was born on the 22nd. February 1890, in Santa Rosa, California, although his exact birthdate is disputed.
He dropped out of high school after his father's death in order to help his family, and at age 16, he began working as a sports cartoonist for various newspapers.
In 1913, he moved to New York City. While drawing cartoons for The New York Globe newspaper, he created his first "Believe It or Not!" cartoon, published in the 19th. December 1918, issue. With a positive response from readers, the cartoon began appearing weekly.
In 1919, Ripley married fourteen-year-old film actress Beatrice Roberts, a child 15 years his junior. They divorced in 1926.
Robert made his first trip around the world in 1922, publishing his travel journal in the newspapers.
Ripley became fascinated with unusual and exotic foreign locales and cultures. Because he took the veracity of his claims quite seriously, in 1923, he hired a researcher and polyglot named Norbert Pearlroth as a full-time assistant.
In 1926, Ripley's cartoons moved from the New York Globe to the New York Post.
Throughout the 1920's, Robert continued to broaden the scope of his work, and his popularity increased greatly. He published a guide to the game of American handball in 1925. In 1926, he became the New York State handball champion, and also wrote a book on boxing.
With a proven track record as a versatile writer and artist, he attracted the attention of publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst. In 1929, Hearst was responsible for Believe It or Not! making its syndicated debut in 360 newspapers and 17 languages worldwide.
With the success of this series assured, Ripley capitalized on his fame by getting the first book collection of his newspaper panel series published.
-- Robert Ripley - The Later Years
On the 3rd. November 1929, he drew a panel in his syndicated cartoon saying:
"Believe It or Not, America
has no national anthem."
Despite the widespread belief that "The Star-Spangled Banner", with its lyrics by Francis Scott Key set to the music of the English drinking song "To Anacreon in Heaven", was the United States national anthem, Congress had never officially made it so.
In 1931, John Philip Sousa published his opinion in favor of giving the song official status, stating:
"It is the spirit of the music that
inspires, as much as it is Key's
soul-stirring words."
By a law signed on the 3rd. March 1931 by President Herbert Hoover, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was adopted as the national anthem of the United States.
Ripley prospered during the Great Depression, netting $500,000 a year by the end of the 1930's.
He employed a large staff of researchers, artists, translators, and secretaries to handle a deluge of suggestions for new oddities to report – and he traveled the world in search of curiosities.
Funding for Robert's highly publicized global travels were provided by the Hearst organization.
Always in search of the bizarre, he recorded live radio shows underwater and from the sky, the Carlsbad Caverns, the bottom of the Grand Canyon, snake pits, and other exotic locales.
The next year, he hosted the first of a series of two dozen Believe It or Not! theatrical short films for Warner Bros. and Vitaphone, and published a second collected volume of Believe it or Not! panels.
Ripley also appeared in a Vitaphone musical short, Seasons Greetings (1931).
After a trip to Asia in 1932, he opened his first museum, the Odditorium, in Chicago in 1933. The concept was a success, and at one point, Odditoriums were in San Diego, Dallas, Cleveland, San Francisco, and New York City.
At this point in his life, Robert Ripley had been voted the most popular man in America by The New York Times, and Dartmouth College awarded him an honorary degree.
World travel became impossible during World War II, so Ripley concentrated on promoting charities.
-- Robert Ripley on TV
In 1948, the year of the 20th. anniversary of the Believe it or Not! cartoon series, the Believe it or Not! radio show drew to a close and was replaced with a Believe it or Not! television series.
This was a bold move on Ripley's part, given the small number of Americans with access to television at this early time in the medium's development. He completed only 13 episodes of the series before he became incapacitated by severe health problems.
-- Robert Ripley's Cartoon Series
Ripley's cartoon series was estimated to have 80 million readers worldwide, and he is said to have received more mail than the President of the United States.
He became a wealthy man, with homes in New York and Florida, but he always retained close ties to his home town of Santa Rosa, California.
He made a point of bringing attention to the Church of One Tree, a church built entirely from the wood of a single 300-ft (91.4-m)-tall redwood tree, which stands on the north side of Juilliard Park in downtown Santa Rosa.
-- Robert Ripley's Associates
Ripley claimed to be able to prove every statement he made because he worked with professional fact researcher Norbert Pearlroth, who assembled Believe it or Not!'s array of odd facts, and also verified the small-town claims submitted by readers.
Pearlroth spent 52 years as the feature's researcher, finding and verifying unusual facts for Ripley, and after Ripley's death, for the syndicate editors who took over management of the Believe it or Not! panel.
Another employee who edited the newspaper cartoon series over the years was Lester Byck. Others who drew the series after Ripley's death include Art Slogg, Clem Gretter (1941 – 1949), Paul Frehm (1938 – 1975), who became the panel's full-time artist in 1949, and his brother Walter Frehm (1948 – 1989).
-- The Death and Legacy of Robert Ripley
On the 27th. May 1949, at the age of 59, Robert died from a heart attack in New York City.
He was laid to rest in his home town of Santa Rosa in the Oddfellows Lawn Cemetery.
Ripley's ideas and legacy live on in Ripley Entertainment, a company bearing his name and owned since 1985 by the Jim Pattison Group, a privately held company based in Canada.
Ripley Entertainment airs national television shows, features publications of oddities, and has holdings in a variety of public attractions.
These include Ripley's Aquarium, Ripley's Believe it or Not! Museums, Ripley's Haunted Adventure, Ripley's Mini-Golf and Arcade, Ripley's Moving Theater, Ripley's Sightseeing Trains, Guinness World Records Attractions, and Louis Tussaud's Wax Museums.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Lévy et Neurdein Réunis, 44, Rue Letellier, Paris.
Loches
Loches is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France.
It is situated 29 miles (47 km) southeast of Tours on the left bank of the Indre River.
The town, one of the most picturesque in central France, lies at the foot of the rocky eminence on which stands the Château de Loches, the traditional seat of the Anjou family, surrounded by an outer wall 13 ft (4 m) thick, and consisting of the old collegiate Church of St Ours, the Royal Lodge and the Donjon or Keep.
The Church of St Ours dates from the tenth century to the twelfth century; among its distinguishing features are the huge stone pyramids surmounting the nave, and the beautiful carving of the west door. It contains the tomb of Agnès Sorel.
The Royal Lodge, built by Charles VII of France, contains the oratory of Anne of Brittany. It was here on the 11th. May 1429 that Joan of Arc arrived, fresh from her historic victory at Orleans, to meet the King.
The Donjon includes, besides the ruined Keep (12th century), the Martelet, celebrated as the prison of Lodovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, who died there in 1508, and the Tour Ronde, built by Louis XI of France and containing the famous iron cages in which state prisoners were confined.
One of my opinipics of Opinicus was printed in Sheffield's Telegraph today.
They used five, actually, because its one of the ones I faffed about with.
I'm especially fond of the cheesy fake film strip.
See you at the Boardwalk on Wednesday then.

Erykah Badu è nata come Erica Abi Wright a South Dallas, Texas, nel 1971. Il lavoro della madre, attrice, ha evidentemente avuto un impatto enorme sulla piccola Erykah, che a soli 4 anni era già su un palco del “Dallas Theatre Centre”; sempre grazie all'influenza materna la piccola Erica si cimenta nella pittura, nel canto e nella danza, sognando di seguire le orme dei suoi artisti preferiti: Stevie Wonder e Chaka Kan. Erykah cresce proprio quando avviene l'esplosione del fenomeno musicale dell'Hip Hop; così a 14 anni l'artista inizia a fare del free style per una radio locale chiamata "Knon", aiutata dal beat di un altro esordiente, il futuro trombettista Jazz Roy Hargrove, e decide di utilizzare un nome d'arte, considerando il suo nome originale come un nome da schiava. Erica diviene Erykah, utilizzando il suffisso "kah" "luce interiore", e come cognome prende Badu derivante dal fraseggio tipico del jazz ("ba-doo"); più tardi l'artista scoprirà che il termine Badu in arabo significa "verità e luce".
La musica di Erykah Badu è fortemente ispirata da r&b tradizionale, hip hop e jazz; alcuni definiscono il suo stile musicale Conscious Hip-hop, per via dei suoi testi incentrati su una filosofia urban molto personale e spesso caratterizzati da riflessioni politiche e sociali definite dai critici "mistiche" e di difficile interpretazione e che, a detta di molti critici, lanciano sfide emozionali agli ascoltatori. La critica la considera una delle personalità musicali più eclettiche e fantasiose del nuovo millennio, oltre che una delle più influenti artiste neo-soul degli ultimi quindici anni.
