paragraph: Alexander Meissner

paragraph: Alexander Meissner (in German: Alexander Meißner) (September 14, 1883 – January 3, 1958) was an Austrian engineer and physicist. He was born in Vienna and died in Berlin.

paragraph: His field of interest was: antenna design, amplification and detection advanced the development of radio telegraphy. In March 1913 he discovered the principle of positive feedback independently of Edwin Armstrong, and applying positive feedback to vacuum tube amplifiers co-invented the electronic oscillator, which became the basis of radio transmission by 1920 and has innumerable uses today. The inductively-coupled oscillator circuit he invented is today known as the Meissner oscillator.

paragraph: Lapp-Lisa

paragraph: Anna-Lisa Öst (1889-1974) was a Swedish gospel singer and recording artist, who was popular with both Swedish and Swedish-American audiences in the 1940s and 1950s. She performed in folk costume and was better known as Lapp-Lisa, a name reflecting the Sami heritage of her home district.

paragraph: Anna-Lisa Vikström was born October 8, 1889 in the village of Mark, about 20 miles northwest of Vilhelmina, Västerbotten. In 1924 she married postal worker Johan “Jonte” Öst of Hedemora, with whom she had two daughters: Gun, whom they adopted in 1927, and Siw, who was born in 1935. Anna-Lisa Öst died April 27, 1974 and is buried at Hedemora Church.

paragraph: In 1904 Vikström nearly drowned in a boating accident and vowed to dedicate her life to God. At the age of nineteen she was saved, and in 1911 she became an officer in the Salvation Army. She continued in this post until marrying Johan Öst in 1924.

paragraph: After her marriage Anna-Lisa Öst continued her spiritual work and toured Sweden and the other Nordic countries as a singing evangelist. She was not the first gospel singer known as “Lapp-Lisa”, but she was the most famous one. Lisa Thomasson (1878-1932) had previously gone by that name.

paragraph: Lapp-Lisa had a repertoire of hundreds of songs, many of which she had learned from her mother. She made her first recordings in 1929 and over the years released more than 400 songs in both Sweden and America. Her signature tune “Barnatro” (Childhood Faith) was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic and sold over 100,000 copies. Her autobiography was titled "With childhood faith in the world: Lapp-Lisa tells about her life."

paragraph: In 1949, 1954 and 1959 Lapp-Lisa visited the United States, where she traveled widely and recorded numerous songs. On her final trip she appeared in seventeen States and shared her Christian faith with tens of thousands of Swedish-Americans.

paragraph: In 2001 a Lapp-Lisa museum opened in her hometown of Mark. More than forty years after her death Lapp-Lisa’s music lives on through the sales of records, CDs and digital downloads on the Internet. Several of her songs also appear on video-sharing websites.

paragraph: Lucien De Roeck

paragraph: Lucien Theodore De Roeck (9 March 1915 in Dendermonde – 5 March 2002 in Elsene) was a Belgian drawing artist, type designer, typographer and graphic designer. He is best known for the design of Expo 58, the Brussels World's Fair in 1958.

paragraph: Section::::Early Life and Interests.

paragraph: Lucien De Roeck was born in Dendermonde. When he was 5, the family moved to Elsene, near Brussels. De Roeck was born to draw. From his earliest memories on he remembered himself drawing. He always had a sketchbook and a pencil on hand. For the rest of his life, De Roeck drew at least 10 minutes every day. All of his sketches and drawings have been captured in over 400 sketchbooks.

paragraph: Dendermonde is situated next to the river the Scheldt. From a very young age until his death he was fascinated by the stream and had a special connection with it. He spent a lot of his time watching and drawing the boats on the Scheldt. The port of Antwerp, located next to the Scheldt, was a great subject of his drawings as well.

paragraph: When De Roeck was 15, he started being more serious about drawing. The place where you could find him drawing the most was on the tram on his way to school where he documented the passengers. At that time, he decided to take evening classes in drawing.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: At the age of 17, in 1932, De Roeck enrolled in La Cambre which is a notorious art school in Brussels. They had a very modernist way of teaching inspired by Bauhaus. His teachers of the evening classes had a liberal approach. This made De Roeck opt for the rather socialist and progressive La Cambre, unlike his traditional Flemish education in high school.

paragraph: De Roeck had a strong affinity for architecture, but due to limited financial possibilities he chose to study the shorter program "Advertising Design". This separate program was exclusive at La Cambre, it wasn’t taught at Bauhaus. He had the atelier "Advertising Design" by Joris Minne. Nand Geersen instructed the course "Book Design". He graduated with great honors in 1935 and thought this grade was too high, which showed his great modesty.

paragraph: The modernist mind-set of La Cambre was brought by Henry van de Velde, the headmaster at that time. He set the example for De Roeck. Van de Velde taught him to simplify the complexity of a subject by reducing and erasing redundant elements and only keeping the essential. De Roeck lived by this idea of a versatile synthesis guided by a clear opinion.

paragraph: Keeping your curiosity was also taught by van de Velde and De Roeck admired this quality. The knowledge and minds-set he learned in La Cambre, he would later transfer to his future students. As well as the idea that learning is endeavoring, editing and critically reviewing.

paragraph: After serving his military service in 1935 he took an extra year to experiment with typography at La Cambre as well.

paragraph: In 1939 De Roeck decided to take a course in calligraphy at the London Royal College of Art. This ended abruptly. He was called for duty in May 1940 to fight the Battle of the Lys.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1935, De Roeck and his fellow students were asked by the mayor of Antwerp Camille Huysmans to design a poster which would serve as an advertisement for Antwerp. For sketching he went back to his beloved Scheldt to draw the small boats and huge ships. The iconography and composition of the final poster had influences from A.M Cassandre and Leo Marfurt. De Roeck won the assignment and over 10.000 copies were made. There was a second edition in 1936. After, a second design brief was assigned to the class. This time it was to promote the ferry connection Ostend-Dover. De Roeck wonoas the best design for this assignment.

paragraph: In 1941 there was a lawsuit in which De Roeck was accused of the illicit use of the font "Peignot" designed by Cassandre in his poster for an international dance contest. This incident made Lucien focus more on the specialization of letter shapes. He had already developed a strong affinity for type design in the 1930s. Specialization would guarantee De Roeck security and avoid future similar incidents.

paragraph: The first big assignment he had after his studies and military service, was in 1937 by Yves Denis, the director of the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels. De Roeck was asked to do the lay-out of their newspaper they published every month, the "Journal des Beaux-Arts".

paragraph: In 1941 De Roeck pursued teaching which turned out to be his second nature after drawing. He started teaching typography at La Cambre. Later in "Ecole des Filles de Marie" (later "Sint-Lucas paviljoen" and now "Karel de Grote-Hogeschool") in Antwerp, the provincial college in Saint-Ghislain and evening schools and Brussels as well. It wasn’t until 1980 that De Roeck decided to retire. After his retirement he spent an extra year at La Cambre to do an unpaid internship in teaching. Students of his are amongst others Pierre Alechinsky, Michel Olyff and Jean-Michel Folon.

paragraph: De Roeck became in 1946 a staff member of the Book Museum in Brussels. He organized exhibitions about typography and book printing. In 1969 he became a member of ATypI and in 1958 he took part for the first time in the L’association des Rencontres internationales de Lure.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Wartime.

paragraph: During the Battle of the Lys, De Roeck kept an autobiographical sketchbook. He fought back with drawings. These are a series of cubist drawings with elements such as soldiers, airplanes and explosions which summed up what he had experienced. Afterwards he was taken to a German detention camp and was freed end 1940.

paragraph: As much as he wanted to make a name for his himself after he graduated, the circumstances weren’t good. Because of the war, designing wasn’t always possible. This was a major setback for the beginning career of De Roeck. He had to earn money as a house painter. When he had a commission, usually for posters, the design was frugal. He used simple typography and little color. He would also design infographics for the Belgian newspapers with information on the movements of the Allied armies.

paragraph: Paper was scares during wartime, which forced De Roeck to take other surfaces to draw on. He had to settle for smaller pieces of paper, a piece of tablecloth or found cardboard. All of this was still enough to satisfy his craving for drawing.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Freedom of the Press.

paragraph: After the Second World War ended, the press got its freedom back. This resulted in the flourishing of the Belgian press. From 1944 De Roeck designed for "La Lanterne". He provided a revival of "Le Phare" with his talents as typographer and illustrator and launched their new Sunday magazine. He also designed for "La Cité" and "Le Quotidian". For the paper "Pan" he reviewed theatre plays in images. The narration would adapt to the overall feel of the plays.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Expo 58.

paragraph: De Roeck experienced the peak of his career during the 1950s. In 1954 he won the design competition for the poster of the World Fair of 1958. He used an asymmetrical star in the center of the design, combined with a globe in the right upper corner. The star has the city hall of Brussels in the middle. The five points stand for the visitors of the 5 continents Brussels would welcome, as well as the number of decennia Congo was a colony of Belgium. The typography exists of ‘Brussels’ and ‘58’ and the colors used are blue and green which suggest heaven and earth.

paragraph: In the expo itself, De Roeck enlarged the star and built luminescent 3D versions, used to decorate a footbridge with a view over several pavilions.

paragraph: De Roeck received in 1960 an honorary badge as knight for the realization and success of Expo 58 from the Order of Leopold II. In 1966 he got one from the Order of Leopold.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:After the 1950s.

paragraph: In the 1960s the International Typographic Style advanced and from 1980 the digital revolution took off. This all didn’t have much grip on De Roeck. He renewed himself but remained true to his own style.

paragraph: Section::::Work Process and Aesthetics.

paragraph: At the start of designing a poster, the sketching phase was the most important. De Roeck developed an idea which was sometimes better than the final product. He occasionally complained to his students that when he showed designs to his clients, they would have remarks on the composition or color. They often wanted details from one sketch combined with another and this led to half-hearted design he said.

paragraph: For his earliest posters, created in the thirties, he used the diagonal axis of view, typical for the idiom of that time. He also created a dynamic rhythm between text and image. He pleaded for a direct approach, a clear transmission of language on a subject that looked simple at first sight. In order to reach this, the only way was to analyze the basic elements that gave the outcome the most suitable look. The function determined the form, but he combined this with elegance. He never got rid of these ideas.

paragraph: Because De Roeck had a great fondness for architecture, he worked with high precision. This was convenient when designing plans, decors and scale models. De Roeck worked in 1959 on a mobile panorama sight of Brussels in perspective and relief, commissioned by the Commissariat of Tourism. He painted large pieces of fabric with the images of Brussels buildings.

paragraph: Section::::Personal Life.

paragraph: Lucien De Roeck married in 1941 to Adrienne van Emden. She studied at La Cambre as well and had a degree in weaving. His daughter Anne and his son Michel were born in 1944 and 1945. As a family they moved a few times, but stayed within the city of Elsene.

paragraph: As an homage to his children he would sometimes use their names as his pseudonym. Under the pseudonym Luc Doek, De Roeck made a comic named Jef Klawieter. Later, influenced by Jijé, who he met in La Cambre, he drew Gibou. But soon after de Roeck realized that comic books aren’t something for him, he had a more spontaneous way of sketching and drawing.

paragraph: He was friends with other comic artists Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs and André Franquin and made intimate portraits of them. He had the rare ability of capturing the fleeting of a model. Sometimes he wouldn’t even lift his pencil from the paper. For New Year’s he sent them greeting cards decorated with lyrical typography.

paragraph: At his death the Fonds Lucien De Roeck was created as an archive of his work.

paragraph: Charles Maitland, 3rd Earl of Lauderdale (c. 1620 – 9 June 1691), was the second son ("The Great Seal of Scotland" gives him as third son) of John Maitland, 1st Earl of Lauderdale (died 1645).

paragraph: Maitland was born at Lethington. Following the death of his father-in-law, Richard Lauder of Haltoun, in November 1675, he formally adopted the territorial designation Charles Maitland of Haltoun, although he had the barony of Haltoun settled upon him "in fee" on 4 December 1660.

paragraph: Shortly after the Restoration of King Charles II (4 December 1660), Charles Maitland was created sole Captain-General of The Mint for life, and appointed a Privy Counsellor 15 June 1661. He was elected one of the Commissioners for Edinburghshire and Lord of the Articles in the parliament of 1669. On the 1 (or 8) June 1670 he was admitted an Ordinary Lord and Senator of the College of Justice as Lord Haltoun. In February 1671, he succeeded Sir William Bellenden as Treasurer-Depute, and shortly afterwards, following the quarrel between the John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale and the Earl of Tweeddale, became his brother's chief assistant in the management of Scottish affairs.

paragraph: By charter of novodamus of 1676, later ratified by the Scots Parliament, King Charles II granted Charles Maitland, Lord Haltoun, "the office of bearing our insignia within our said realm of Scotland". (But in 1952, the Lord Lyon decided that the Earl of Lauderdale's right was to bear the saltire as the Bearer of the National Flag of Scotland, whereas the Earl of Dundee as the Bearer of the Royal Banner bears the Royal Standard of the "lion rampant").

paragraph: In a paper presented by the Duke of Hamilton to King Charles II in 1679, he detailed the grievances under which Scotland then suffered and complained that Lord Haltoun was "overbearing and insolent in the extreme". Upon the fall of The Duke of Lauderdale, Lord Haltoun's enemies began to attack him. He was, in July 1681, accused before parliament of perjury, the prosecution only halted by the adjournment of parliament. In November that year, a letter was procured from the King whereby he was deprived of the honour of presiding in Council, which, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal, it appears he had formerly enjoyed, and, at the same time, the accounts of the Treasury were ordered to be investigated.

paragraph: In June 1682, a Commission, chiefly composed of his enemies, was appointed to inquire into the coinage and Mint, and, upon their report, he was deprived of his offices, and the Lord Advocate ordered to proceed against him, either civilly or criminally, for malversation. The case was tried in the Court of Session, which, on the 20 March 1683, fined Sir John Falconer and him £72,000 sterling, a vast sum for the time. The King mitigated the penalty to £20,000 sterling, ordaining £16,000 to be paid to the Lord Chancellor, and £4000 of to Graham of Claverhouse. The latter two disputed as to the division of the spoil, but at length Claverhouse obtained the lands of Dudhope and the Constabulary of Dundee, which procured him, in the following reign, the more honourable title by which history knows him.

paragraph: Lord Haltoun succeeded his brother as Earl of Lauderdale in 1683, and was readmitted a Privy Counsellor on the 11 March 1686.

paragraph: Charles Maitland married, on 18 November 1652, Elizabeth, younger daughter of Richard Lauder of Haltoun, (nr.Ratho), Sheriff Principal for Edinburgh, &c., the owner of Haltoun House and its lands, as well as extensive properties at Lauder, all of which passed to the Maitlands upon and after his marriage, Lauder's elder daughter having been provided with a money dowry. By a very extensive charter in "The Great Seal of Scotland", confirmed at Whitehall, London, on 4 December 1660, Charles Maitland and his heirs male by his marriage were bound to "take the name of Lauder and bear the Arms of Lauder of Haltoun", which was done in accordance with the charter by John Maitland, Charles 2nd son, who received a baronetcy of Nova Scotia as Sir John Lauder. As provided in the charter, when Sir John inherited the Earldom of Lauderdale on the death of his elder brother Richard, he reverted to the surname of Maitland.

paragraph: The third Earl of Lauderdale died at Haltoun House. He left six sons and two daughters, his eldest son and heir being Richard Maitland, 4th Earl of Lauderdale. Of his daughters: Isobel married John, 8th Lord Elphinstone, and Mary married Charles Carnegie, 4th Earl of Southesk.

paragraph: Millicent Armstrong

paragraph: Millicent Sylvia Armstrong (1 May 1888 – 18 November 1973) was an Australian playwright and farmer who wrote primarily about the experiences of country life in early 20th century Australia.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Armstrong was born in Waverley, Sydney on 1 May 1888. She was the fourth daughter of Irish-born William Harvey Armstrong and Tasmanian-born Jeanie (née Williams). She matriculated in French and Latin in 1905 and entered Sydney University to study arts, following her two older sisters, Ina Beatrice and Helen Daphne. She graduated BA with first class honours in English in 1910. Millicent's sister, Helen, with whom she would collaborate on plays and a novel, graduated with first class honours in French, English and German in 1902.

paragraph: Section::::War experiences.

paragraph: In 1914 Armstrong travelled to England to pursue a writing career but became involved in World War I work almost immediately. She served as a hospital orderly in both England and France: in England during the first two years of the war, and then in France with the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service for the latter two and half years.

paragraph: She won the Croix de guerre for bravery in rescuing wounded soldiers while under fire.

paragraph: It was during her time as a nurse at the Hospital Auxiliaire d'Armee No. 30 in France that, 'I first tried my hand on plays – partly in French and partly in English, acted in one or other of the wards by the staff and any of the blesses who were well enough to join in the fun, for the amusement of the rest of the hospital. Never were audiences more kindly and easy to entertain! Anything went down with them, from wildest melodrama to pantomime and variety shows.'

paragraph: Section::::Life as a farmer.

paragraph: In 1919, after the war, Armstrong returned to Australia. In 1921 she took up a soldier settlement block of land in Clear Hills, Gunning, New South Wales . The farm which was 1028 acres had previously belonged to her sister Ina's husband. It adjoined land later acquired by her sister, Helen. They farmed vegetables, flowers, pigs and wool together but faced indebtedness and many of the difficulties that others who had acquired land through the Soldier Settlement scheme faced.

paragraph: After Helen's death in 1939, Millicent became a grazier in Kirkdale, Yarra, near Goulburn. By 1953, she was living in the city of Goulburn where she died in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Writing career.

paragraph: Millicent Armstrong wrote plays and an unpublished novel, "Five Pretty Sisters", with her sister, Helen. None of her wartime writing survives, but the plays she wrote in Australia were well received and prize-winning. Eleven plays survive and some have been republished in collections.

paragraph: Armstrong's first post-war play was "Fire", which won third prize in the "Sydney Daily Telegraph" playwriting competition in 1923.

paragraph: In the same year, "Drought", a play about a Macedonian immigrant farmer committing suicide just before a destructive drought ends, won the Rupert Brooke Prize, which had been instituted in 1919 by the Old Collegians Association of the Presbyterian Ladies College of Melbourne in commemoration of peace. The play was chosen from over 100 submissions, winning the award for the best one act play written by an Australian or New Zealander. It was produced at the Playhouse, Melbourne, in June 1924. In 1934 it was one of three prize winners in the International One-Act Play Theatre's 1934 competition and was produced at St Martin's Theatre, London on 3 June 1934. "Drought" was also broadcast from London by the BBC on 11 December 1934 and 3KZ (Melbourne) 10 May 1938. The play was published in London by Harrap, 1934: "Prize One Act Plays" and then in a collection of Armstrong's plays, "Plays in One Act" in 1958.

paragraph: Also published in "Plays in One Act" are "Thomas", first produced by the Armidale Theatre Club, Armidale, New South Wales in 1959; and "Penny Dreadful" which was first produced by the Diamond Valley Drama Group at the Arrow Theatre, Melbourne, 8 August 1961.

paragraph: The play "At Dusk" was published in the 1937 collection "Best Australian One-Act Plays" editing by Tom Inglis-Moore and William Moore. A sinisterly dramatic play about two sisters who live in the Australian bush, one of whom dies of fright after encountering a vicious man from her past, is described as 'plunder[ing] the 'frontier mentality' which usually saw women scripted as saviours rather than victims of intolerably discriminatory situations.' "At Dusk" had a rich performance history and was produced by the Sydney Drama Society on 23 July 1938, by the Sydney Players' Club in 1939, the Maryborough Arts Society (5 June 1954) and at the Napier Street Theatre, South Melbourne, c.1993. It was toured by Phoenix Productions in 1956 (dir. Musgrave Horner), among other productions.

paragraph: Armstrong's other plays include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Goblin Gold" (c. 1938)

paragraph: Oliver F. "Ollie" Atkins (February 18, 1917 – January 24, 1977) was an American photographer who worked for the "Saturday Evening Post" and as personal photographer to President Richard Nixon.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Atkins was born in 1917 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts, and grew up in New York. He moved to the University of Alabama to get his BA in Journalism, graduating in 1938. Taking a job at the "Birmingham Post", he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming chief photographer for the paper. He left Alabama in 1940 to join the staff of "The Washington Daily News".

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: In 1942, after the United States entry into World War II, he began reporting for the American Red Cross. In that position, he covered such campaigns as the African campaign, the invasion of Sicily, the beachheads of Southern Italy, and the Allied invasions of Southern France and Germany.

paragraph: Section::::Postwar.

paragraph: When the war ended, he was a photographer for the "Saturday Evening Post" for which he traveled the world taking pictures of such historic figures as Josip Broz Tito, Charles de Gaulle, and Gamal Abdel Nasser.

paragraph: Section::::Postwar.:Work with Nixon.

paragraph: When Nixon started campaigning for President in 1968, he became Nixon's personal photographer, following him on the campaign trail. When Nixon was elected, he joined the White House staff as official photographer. In that position, he took pictures of the president with many heads of state and celebrities. A secret meeting between Nixon and Elvis Presley is Atkins' most requested picture. Both Elvis and Nixon wanted to keep the meeting secret as Nixon's ratings were dropping and Elvis was planning a comeback; neither of their fans would understand a meeting between the two. The picture is now one of the most requested images in the National Archives and Records Administration, being more popular than the Bill of Rights or the Constitution of the United States.

paragraph: While serving Nixon, Atkins was a member of the National Press Photographers Association. While a member of the Association, he was the head of its Freedom of Information Committee. After his work with Nixon in 1974, Atkins joined the "Saturday Evening Post" publisher, Curtis Publishing Company of Indianapolis, becoming its vice president.

paragraph: Lazar Drljača

paragraph: Lazar Drljača (10 October 1882 – 13 July 1970) was a painter from modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Blatna near Bosanski Novi to a Serbian family, he was initially an expressionist, but turned to impressionism.

paragraph: Drljača identified himself as Bosnian bogumil, therefore he was often called the "Last Bosnian Bogumil".

paragraph: He passed his examination for Fine Arts in Vienna in October 1906, and in 1911 was invited to participate in the International Exhibition in Rome, after which he moved to Paris to attend art school, and worked in the Louvre copying the old masters, Titian and Leonardo da Vinci, sometimes to commission. From July 9, 1914 to 1919 little is known about his life but a note on a picture records that he was interned in a camp in Sardinia.

paragraph: Just before the World War II, sometime around 1935, he returned to Bosnia for good and settled in a village Borci, on a mountainous plain between Boračko jezero and Prenj mountain, above Konjic. He lived there for rest of his life in seclusion, first in a village, and after he fell ill he moved to a nearby mountain villa, "Šantića Vila", above Boračko lake, where he would die in 1970. Although, at this point, in dilapidated state, "Šantića Vila" is also National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

paragraph: Mueller made her Broadway debut in a revised revival of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" as Melinda Wells, a role originated by Barbara Harris. The musical opened in December 2011. Mueller received critical praise for her performance, with one reviewer commenting "...Her voice contains notes of Garland, but she’s no diva — this is a star of supreme self-possession". For this role, Mueller was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical and the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.

Mueller also received critical praise for her performance. Charles Isherwood for the "New York Times" noted: "But it is when Ms. Mueller tears into the musical’s climactic number, 'She Used to Be Mine,' that her talents are most fully and movingly harnessed... Ms. Mueller’s vibrant performance of this gentle but wrenching song, featuring a melody that soars and then recedes in waves, is the high point of the show — and for that matter a high point of the Broadway season. Suddenly, a pleasant and polished but weightless musical comedy rises to transporting heights, and sweeps up your heart along with it." Mueller left the production on March 26, 2017. Mueller's performance also earned her a 2016 Lilly Award for its message of female empowerment and safety.

paragraph: Carl Roth of Nedre Fösked

paragraph: Carl Roth (German: Roht) was a Swedish blacksmith, farrier, and ironmaster who lived during the mid-17th century. He is best known for his work renovating Charles XII's Stair at Katarina Church in Stockholm, Sweden; and as ironmaster of both Duvnäs(Duvenäs), and Nedre Fösked(Föske) ironworks.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Carl Roth was born in 1712, most likely at one of the residences owned by his father, Benjamin Danielsson Roth, and was christened on July 29 in St. Gertrude's parish in Stockholm. On January 24, 1729, at the age of 17, he enrolled as an apprentice farrier at the workshop where his father was the master. 17 October 1734, at the age of 22, he was certified as a Journeyman and began traveling Europe for his gesällvandring (Journeyman's Wandering/Years) to improve his craft and work towards his Master-ship. In 1744, at the age of 32, he returned to Stockholm and was certified as a Master Farrier of the Farrier's Guild.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Sometime in the 1750s he married Agatha Romanians, the daughter of bank clerk Olof Romanians and Elsa Flinck. They acquired a home in Packartorget, now called Norrmalmstorg, in Stockholm, where their sons Benjamin and Carl were born. Like his father, Carl was a master in the farrier's guild in Stockholm; but he also worked as a farrier at the royal palace stables.

paragraph: Sometime between the 1750s and the 1780s Carl purchased the ironworks of Duvnäs and, through a bid at a bank auction, the ironworks and estate of Nedre(Lower) Fösked; both in , Värmland. In 1775 Carl, at the age of 63, returned to Stockholm to renovate Karl XII's stair. The stair had been built by his father in 1715 at Katarina Church in Stockholm. It is not known if he was hired for this work or chose to do so of his own accord. Sometime in the 1780s he and the family moved to Lower Fösked where he lived until his death. It was said that Carl was a man of great strength and endurance and he could, for example, ride all the way between Stockholm and Lower Fösked without stopping to rest (about 375 kilometers). He died in 1788 at Nedre Fösked.

paragraph: Mona Limerick

paragraph: Mona Limerick (born Mary Charlotte Louise Gadney; 1882-1968) was an Irish stage actress. She was the wife of actor Ben Iden Payne.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mona Limerick was born to Irish parents, possibly in South America. In another version of her story, she mentioned being born in India and raised in Germany, as the daughter of Irish missionaries.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Limerick had her acting debut in 1902, in Bristol. She was a member of the Abbey Players in Dublin, and a member of Annie Horniman's repertory company of the Gaiety Theatre in Manchester. In 1909 George Bernard Shaw chose Limerick for the role of Hypatia in his play "Misalliance", but she had to refuse the role to play Beatrice in her husband's production of "Much Ado About Nothing" in Manchester. Shaw wrote to her about his disappointment: "I solemnly curse Iden Payne. I curse Miss Horniman. I curse the Gaiety Theatre. I curse Manchester. I curse destiny. I lay a blight on every theatrical enterprise in England until you do your duty and come play for me." In 1910 she appeared in Shaw's "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets", and toured in Shaw's "Man and Superman".

paragraph: Limerick had a reputation for being "strange, haunting, puzzling" in her stage persona. Caricaturist Max Beerbohm drew a severe figure of Limerick in 1909, and described her as having "a barbaric air, and yet an air of being over-civilized." Joseph Conrad described Limerick in a 1917 letter as having "a quality which gets home every time and if she may exasperate her audience I am certain she will never bore it or leave it indifferent."

paragraph: Limerick and Ben Iden Payne left the Manchester troupe in 1911, and toured the United States in 1913. She starred in Cicely Hamilton's play "Phyl" and Harriet Monroe's play "The Man-Eagle" in Chicago in 1914. She also acted in Rabindranath Tagore's "Chitra" in Boston in 1915, and made plans to appear on vaudeville in "The Woman in Red".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Mona Limerick married fellow actor Ben Iden Payne in 1906. They had three children, Sara (1907-1993) who became a dancer, Rosalind (1911-1990) who became an actress, and son Paget. Limerick and Payne divorced in 1950. Mona Limerick died in 1968, aged 86 years.

paragraph: Ria Brodell

paragraph: Ria Brodell is a non-binary trans artist, educator and author based in Boston.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Brodell was born in Buffalo, New York and raised in Boise, Idaho. Brodell attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA and an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Brodell has had solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, including the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, the Minnesota Museum of American Art, the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston among others. Their work can be found in the collections of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum in Winter Part, FL, the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul, MN, the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, WA, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in NYC, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, the Bernard A.

Brodell’s work has appeared in the Guardian, ARTNews, The Boston Globe, New American Paintings, and Art New England. Brodell’s book documenting their painting series "Butch Heroes" was released in 2018 via MIT Press.

paragraph: Section::::Artworks.

paragraph: "The Handsome and The Holy" is a series of self-portraits and vignettes by Ria Brodell made from 2008-2010. The works in this series were painted with gouache on paper. In this series the artist attempted to bring together seemingly contradictory aspects of their childhood- queer sexuality, struggles with gender identity, family and Catholicism. In a "Q&A" article written by Jess Dugan for "Strange Fire", Brodell states, “"The Handsome and the Holy" was the first time I tried to tackle the subject of my gender identity, sexuality and Catholic upbringing through painting. In that series I was reaching back to my childhood. As a kid, part of me knew that something was “queer” about who I was attracted to, and who I wanted to be (Cary Grant, Ken, the Prince in all the Disney movies), but I didn’t have the language or the knowledge to understand what that meant. The way I wanted to express my gender (in the most masculine ways possible) did not mesh well with having to wear a little plaid skirt to school.”

paragraph: Like "The Handsome and the Holy", the "Butch Heroes" series seeks to depict role models and possible heroes throughout history that were gender nonconforming and tell their stories. Brodell does this through the style of Catholic holy cards - intricate depictions of saints or martyrs that tell a visual story and are meant for “private, portable devotions.” Both of these series deal with Brodell’s Catholic upbringing “‘in relationship to [their] gender and sexuality and coming out and coming to terms with all that,’ said Brodell…” in their book, "Butch Heroes". In the book titled "We Are Everywhere by" Matthew Reimer it says, “The strong sister told the strong brother that there were two important things to remember about coming revolutions… The first is that we will get our asses kicked and the second is that we will win.” It is here that Ria Brodell is winning and giving others hope and a chance to win as well.

paragraph: Section::::Artworks.:"The Handsome and the Holy".:"Self-Portrait of a Nun and Monk, ca. 1250".

paragraph: This piece is a work from their series "The Handsome and the Holy and" was painted in 2010. It contains two self-representative images: one of a nun, and one of a monk"." This piece was exhibited in Brodell’s first solo museum exhibition, "Devotion", at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum from January to May of 2018. It was exhibited alongside other pieces from their series "The Handsome and the Holy" and "Butch Heroes". This work led them to research queer historical figures that were assigned female at birth, but masculine presenting, and eventually to pursue the well-known "Butch Heroes" series. Brodell discusses their shift from self-portraits to historical storytelling in an interview in 2016:

paragraph: “Self-Portrait as a Nun or Monk, ca. 1250” is a self-reflection and an inquiry into the history of queer bodies and their treatment. This painting is a statement on the criminalization and condemnation of queer people and a look into lives of the past. It is a bridge between these two series and between the inner reflection and external realities of the past and present world.

paragraph: Section::::Artworks.:"Butch Heroes".

paragraph: "Butch Heroes" is an ongoing series of portrait paintings began in 2010. The paintings depict, “people who were assigned female at birth, had documented relationships with women, and whose gender presentation was more masculine than feminine.” Brodell explains,“Some of the subjects identified as women, others as men; some shifted between gender presentations throughout their lives, while others embodied both simultaneously.” Original and secondary sources, including newspaper articles, and personal journal entries are used to verify the information. Summarized narratives and research sources are included with each portrait so that others can do further research. The paintings are created in the style of Catholic holy cards as an homage to Brodell's Catholic upbringing. Brodell explains the use of the holy card format:

paragraph: Brodell views the project as an ongoing effort to reclaim and document the history of LGBTQIA community. The Butch Heroes paintings were first exhibited in March-April 2017 at Gallery Kayafas in Boston. Images of the paintings, accompanying narratives and source material were published by the artist as a limited edition book, "Butch Heroes: Paintings by Ria Brodell", in conjunction with the exhibition. In February 2018, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College released a limited edition "Butch Heroes" boxed card set. In October 2018 the MIT Press version, "Butch Heroes", was released with additional paintings and narratives.

paragraph: Since its release the book has been described as "an ambitious and wonderfully celebratory ode to the lives of 28 people over many centuries 'assigned female at birth' who 'had documented relationships with women, and whose gender presentation was more masculine than feminine... This is a serious—and seriously successful—queer history recovery project." ""Butch Heroes" is a fascinating, intersectional, feminist art-text project, and overall a rather wonderful reclamatory book of LGBT history that subvert and resonates in the human psyche." "The portraits give homage to contemporary ideas of queer ancestry, and in doing so give strength to trans and non-binary communities currently under attack. That makes "Butch Heroes" worth celebrating."
