OTD March 24, 1603 Elizabeth I died. Wielded intelligence effectively to create something akin to proto-police state. Lest anyone forget, she wore eye and ear spy dress. Note the eyes and ears embroidered on dress

@alexconnorwrite I have not read Arlen, but supposed to be good. A favorite of F Scott Fitzgerald.

The Secret Story of an 1892 Photo:
▪️The man is the painter, Gustave Caillebotte.
▪️The dog is his companion, Bergère.
▪️The photographer was his brother, Martial Caillebotte.
▪️Paris, 1892, near the Louvre.
It's a rare glimpse of the artist living the life of the flâneur he captured in his paintings.
Not an anonymous period photo: it's Caillebotte
