Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer who is often referred to as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. He rose to fame in 1836 with the serial publication of The Pickwick Papers and his popularity has continued throughout his lifetime and to the present day. Among his work are some of Britain’s best loved stories such as A Christmas Carol, The Adventures of Oliver Twist and Hard Times.
This portrait is called a carte-de-visite and was taken at the studio of John & Charles Watkins, London, in about 1865. A carte-de-visite is a photograph mounted on a piece of card the size of a formal visiting card of the 1850s. The format was introduced by the French photographer Andre-Adolphe-Eugene Disdéri (1819-1889) in 1854. The craze for collecting celebrity cartes-de-visite in albums reached its peak during the 1860s but the format remained popular until the beginning of the twentieth century.

I took this picture on camel back mountain so I would have a good view of the sky for my concentration. I took a picture of the model bending over the type writer and in Photoshop I added multiple pictures of paper by cutting them out and shaping them in the picture. For the sky I layered and blended three pictures and added a warm filter. Color editing in Lightroom. This picture fits due to the surrealism of the flying papers and the matching color scheme 11.608x15.75 in 240 ppi

Questo signore scrive con un pennello ad acqua.
A veteran's flag marks her grave, because she served in a Civil War hospital in Washington, DC. But the stress made her ill, and they prescribed a common medicine back then--mercury. She was poisoned, and when she returned home in Concord, she could barely hold a pen. But she went on to write the immortal Little Women. And that's how it is when you're an indomitable genius.
