Nearly forgotten but glorious art, envisionings and historical oddments from the back corners of the internet
Watercolors of interiors in Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, done by the German artist Ferdinand Rothbart. There was a fashion for having watercolorists do portraits of your drawing room, back then. The Russian tsar had a lot of them, too.
Rothbart did many commissions for Queen Victoria. These could be part of that as she commissioned a set of Prince Albert’s childhood home, or they could have been commissioned by her brother in law. The theatre watercolor was for Queen Victoria. The others don’t say.
On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
