    In those days, it took a lot more effort to play Pokemon Go.

    Now you know why women hitched up their skirts when walking. This one didn’t; her hemline is filthy.

    Though the folio cover lay at her feet and her hat was askew, she had managed to retain her grip on the letter and her composure. If she could just remain conscious she would have a word with the stableman about the horses’ diet.

    " Dear Constance,

    By the time you read this letter, your sister Felicity and I shall be in Kentucky, where, despite her tender years, we shall be married. I hope you don’t take this too hard. You are a sweet girl, and it was fun while it lasted. I hope someday you find someone, who can look beyond your flaws, and find it in their heart to marry you.

    Regards

    Reginald"

    Her First Love Letter

    https://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/detail.php?ID=165734 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly B2 paper size painting.

     

    https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/1796/john-maclaren-barclay-1811-1886-artist-self-portrait 

    https://doi.org/10.1093/benz/9780199773787.article.B00011687 

    both have sparse info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. If the second artist info URL text ends with , you can replace … with from 1850 to 1875. He was a member of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1871. That (in addition to some non-bio info) appeared when I tried the URL about 10 minutes after the first attempt. Trying it later, the were back; so, maybe there was a system glitch that happened to allow access. Anyway, this is the first work by him used here.

     

    Again, a slightly larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2041 (September 17, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
