This is a blog about the Bronte Sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne. And their father Patrick, their mother Maria and their brother Branwell. About their pets, their friends, the parsonage (their house), Haworth the town in which they lived, the moors they loved so much, the Victorian era in which they lived.

Curatorial intern Mari Elliott resets the dining room
See, Charlotte's portrait is hanging again on his place
See, Charlotte's portrait is hanging again on its place
Oh thank goodness!
If I was visiting the Parsonage, and for many it's an once in a life time event, that's what I would want to see over the fire place..
I think the dining room looks super...but it looks very green outside the windows...when were these photos taken? They could have been awhile ago
They are doing a nice job of making the table look as if CB just left it for a moment.
It's fascinating how Charlotte liked the color red when decorating and yet whenever she was criticizing Rome, the word " crimson" , as a negative usually made an appearance when describing the priest's robes .
Charlotte was brought up to honor Evangelical plainness in such things in her upper world life ...but in her underworld life Charlotte adored such richness. The color crimson denotes power there...along with the black locks and the ivory brows , it's a strongly colored world.
When she became famous, Charlotte was able to bring her two worlds together somewhat. She certainly did not grow up with crimson curtains
You are a kind of a Sherlock Holmes, Anne. You are right. It is green outside. I wonder when these pictures were taken. I thougt after the expositie of Charlotte Cory, but that cannot be, now I am realising. Yes, I agree with you. Suppose you go for one time in your life to the Parsonage and then you see all
kind of things from Charlotte Cory instead of Charlotte Bronte.. ........how disappointing.
No Charlotte didn't grew up surrounded with crimson colours. I always understood the walls where dove.coloured, Greetings from Geri
Geri, that comes from also being a Romanov fan...one learns to study photos carefully lol
My understanding is the dog collages are going elsewhere...a gallery in London? I'm hoping to visit the Parsonage ( Finally! ) in Oct. Thankfully the dogs will be else where by then ;)
Dove colored! I thought CB put up paper in the early 1850's....oh you mean while growing up...that would fit in with their simplicity ( and poverty)
Yes, I visited the Parsonage twice in the 80-th. I have slides of this visit. In that time it was very modern. I wished they were fotographes. I often think I must search again where they are and let real photographes made of them. It is on my list to do things for years. :-).

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI hope you take a lot of pictures and tell us beautiful stories!!!!!
If I get there, assuredly :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave you been here Geri? Seems not as far from Holland
I bet this the dining room photo was taken while photos for the new guide book were snapped ...
I wished they released beautiful pictures on their webpage from the newly decorated house as well.
