Yonks ago there was a collection of his art published, <i>Images and Oracles of Austin Osman Spare</i>, which I commissioned from Spare's longtime chum Kenneth Grant. I liked some of the art, as I remember; the occultism was obviously self-delusional bunkum which I regard today as a lot more socially damaging than I did then (on the grounds that it's part of the general brainrot that's destroying our democracies -- <i>see</i> Trump, climate-change denial, etc.).noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-88342858019484745812016-12-02T21:55:18.460+00:002016-12-02T21:55:18.460+00:00More information gratefully received...More information gratefully received...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-85334880171377558322016-12-01T14:51:31.541+00:002016-12-01T14:51:31.541+00:00"Osmund Spare" is in fact the artist/occ..."Osmund Spare" is in fact the artist/occultist Austin Osman Spare.noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-43928111462031839062016-12-01T13:48:34.681+00:002016-12-01T13:48:34.681+00:00Thank you for unexpected extra information!Thank you for unexpected extra information!Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-23323084976922836722016-12-01T13:46:03.842+00:002016-12-01T13:46:03.842+00:00SYBIL CHRISTINA WALLER DECEASED 1973 OF OREIL LODG...SYBIL CHRISTINA WALLER DECEASED 1973 OF OREIL LODGE WOLLSTENCRAFT RD BOSCOMBE - FATHER PICKFORD WALLER - PORPERTY DEVELOPER AND BUILDER, ARCHITECT PATRON OF THE ARTS AND CRAFT MOVEMENT AND COLLECTOR AND ILLUSTRATOR OF RARE BOOKS AND ART PATRON OSMUND SPARE AND WHISTLER Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-31986079082023583252015-08-18T10:39:11.938+01:002015-08-18T10:39:11.938+01:00Yes.

On my original entry on Orlando I said: The picture is called Sybil Waller in a red and gold dress, is by George Washington Lambert, and can be found on Wikimedia Commons. <br />It was very early days of the blog, and I do remember being thrilled to bits with it - like you, I thought it was very beautiful, and fitted exactly the entry.

We liked Suchet's POIROT and would love to see T&T. I don't think BBC releases DVDs of its TV dramas even after the series plays out. We have been looking for several early British dramas like FAWLTY TOWERS, ARE YOU BEING SERVED? and TO THE MANOR BORN but without luck, although YouTube has a few of them that we watch once in a while.Prashant C.
