Should not speculate but photo could have been intended for book (Charltt planning to write since 1838) or a 'state of the art' gift (aunt's small inheritance coincides)for Mary and Martha Taylor in Brussels, my preferred destiny. Mary went NZ and Martha moved S.France where the photo was recovered. Never published or seen because the probing lens betrayed poor Chrltt's increasing, torturously hypocrytical dependency on laudanum. v.best, Jamesjamgvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286985481814634629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-65036159231032766262017-06-16T11:40:24.881+02:002017-06-16T11:40:24.881+02:00Deze reactie is verwijderd door een blogbeheerder.jamgvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286985481814634629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-80057001195165064602017-02-02T09:18:16.709+01:002017-02-02T09:18:16.709+01:00Deze reactie is verwijderd door een blogbeheerder.stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636340157135098046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-22532373504419570132017-02-02T08:50:59.487+01:002017-02-02T08:50:59.487+01:00Deze reactie is verwijderd door een blogbeheerder.stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636340157135098046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-52052574685590581482013-11-01T17:30:40.820+01:002013-11-01T17:30:40.820+01:00Thank you Beant.

How such mistakes are made, esp funded with trusted charity and donation, is disheartening and disconcerting for lay fan and historian alike- yet the perpetrators' opinion on other people's supposed portraits of Brontes is still regarded as the 'last word' by innocent researchers, media and/or auctioneers. More frustrating and seemingly somehow corrupt, it appears anything they don't 'own' related to the Brontes is a fake or mistake. <br />The recently proposed group photo:<br />My heart sailed when I saw this treble triple image- an un-manipulated crisp photo. Sadly, a mystery has buried it in obscurity- there is no mention of it, or the occasion of it's making. This is a logical, intriguing question, yet BMP & B Soc suggest lack of reference proves it is not the sisters. (Similarly, the 'official' argument refuting the 1838 group portrait by Landseer is that no mention of the famous artist survives among Bronte artifacts -[almost true], and that no-one knew the sisters, or had reason to paint them before they became famous. <br />Fortunately, and beyond doubt in my mind, the 3 young women in group photo and 3 girls in 1838 portrait (and 'bohemians' in missing 1836 pastel by same artist) are one (X3) and the same. It appears to be made after Brussels, perhaps intended for the first book. Emily and Charlotte are wearing heavy cloaks typical of Flemish or Germanic style, Anne's lighter fabric with cape may have been home made. So, if real, and possibly the only group photo ever made, why no mention, and why was it never published? The story of Imre Goth's Goering explains this mystery. Imre was commissioned by the Nazi to paint his 'off duty' portrait, but was infuriated when he saw that the artist had betrayed his addiction to morphine, and ordered the artist to re-work his eyes. Imre refused, Goering ordered his arrest, but he escaped to England- with the painting. What has this to do with the photo? When laudanum and opiate abuse was rife, everyone knew the signs. I imagine Charlotte did not expect such searching resolution from the new technology, and must have been near broken-hearted when she saw that the photo risked betraying her affair- and hypocrisy. That is why the photo was never used or mentioned. Enjoy it tho.<br /><br />Best wishes all, James GvG Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-39899437767944565552012-10-17T06:28:07.090+02:002012-10-17T06:28:07.090+02:00To help one get a image of Charlotte in one's ...To help one get a image of Charlotte in one's mind, I would suggest getting a print of the original Richmond portait (there are so many diffrent versions , but later ones would be of no help etc.) Also Branwell's pillar portait of CB, plus throw in the profile photo. They all contain similar features ( for one thing, the large bottom lip etc.) The image comes about from looking at one and then at another.

Presently, the only dependable 'bench-mark' is Branwell's 'Pillar' portrait, and to qualified extent Richmond's drawing- compromised by Charlotte's 'discomfort' in his company (no Landseer he)and his sternly bi-tonal choice of media- this 'puritan' indulgance often interpreted as suggesting Charlotte had 'hazel' eyes. Mrs Gaskill's description is sometimes believed to suggest Charlotte had 'brown' eyes, but in fact confirms she had eyes 'the same colour' as Mrs Gaskill's- blue. All other contemporary descriptions corroborate blue/grey eyes. Charlotte's off-set 'crooked mouth' is unanimously recognised, cleverly avoided by Branwell who turned her 'off-set' aspect towards the viewer. In the 'fresh' group portrait Landseer achieved the same 'illusion' by tilting her head. Rotating her image upright reveals the famed 'crooked mouth'. <br />Two of the bona fide 'Charlotte' images above are mis-catalogued. The photo, a robust, healthy woman of several years beyond Charlotte's 39, suggests she completely recovered from the gaunt, anorexic grief described by Richmond in 1850, yet within a few months this chubby 'old' lady married, got pregnant and died of malnutrition. Not chronologically plausable, besides, it's Ellen Nussey.<br />The 'Bonnet' pastel can't be consolidated with any known image of Charlotte- it's Mrs Elizabeth Gaskill- a formulaic 'outdoor' sketch, possibly by a London street artist- this mis-attribution now admitted by the Bronte Museum, since the pastel has been withdrawn from display- and mention. <br />The 'fresh' group portrait magically embodies all the distinctive individual features of the 3 subjects according to the most authentic descriptions, and subtly records the 'pretty, dove-coloured tint' of bare walls (q. Ellen Nussey), the extravagant beaded curves and 'whorled' carving of the surviving William 4th sofa, and exacting renditions of rare items and unique, hand-made accessories (eg; Anne's 'herringbone' plaited hair & amythist bracelet) which remain at the parsonage Museum. <br />Another recovered Emily is going under the hammer next month at Humberts- unreserved. BM refute the lovely thing by suggesting 'no one would want to paint her' (although probably painted by family friend J H Thompson, Emily had lot's of fellow-artist friends) she is bone and breath the same girl Branwell painted (and the same hot-seated fidgit Landseer captured in 1838). I'm sure she will be recognised by the buyer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-53940688088643334582011-10-12T14:48:30.858+02:002011-10-12T14:48:30.858+02:00Did you all notice the descriptions of brown and b...Did you all notice the descriptions of brown and black skinned persons in Jane Eyre? Villette is described as of 'brunette'complexion, on the first page. Her Juvenalia on Angria stars with the lament of an African Queen. According to her publisher Smith, her face was marred by the shape of her mouth and complexion. She is supposed to have had a large mouth. Ugly was used to describe subnasal prognatism, a classical African facial trait. So I presume Charlotte Brontë had brown skin, and generous Black lips. 'Ugly' could mean she looked African. Perhaps today we would not judge so harshly. The same story about missing portraits and unlikely portraits is also found in the stories about Jane Austen (1775-1817). My research is : 'The eloquence of her blood; Was Jane Austen Black?<br />We are dealing with the fall out of the French Revolution and that of 1848, when black supremacy was overcome. The nobility was brown and black of complexion, and despotically oppressed their white serfs. After 1848 history was white washed.egmond codfriedhttp://bluebloodisblackblood.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074545955842912793.post-51684967192378214722011-04-19T08:36:00.392+02:002011-04-19T08:36:00.392+02:00I really wished to know what Charlotte looked like...I really wished to know what Charlotte looked like.

Masterpiece though is still my absolute favorite. I love how in that one the actress Ruth Wilson looked so much like Charlotte could have, it was uncanny really, you could almost envision her being Charlotte.<br />I wonder about the second photograph of Charlotte, if it's real, it could be, such a mystery isn't it?! Every painting and image of her is different somehow. Let's hope for more undiscovered photo's being out there that will prove all!<br />xo J~24 Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630767883910250689noreply@blogger.com
