About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

War Memorial -- Pantheon of War, 1918


From what I could gather on a web googles search, this postcard is one of a series of cards by French painters P. Carrier-Belleuse and A.F. Gorguet memorializing the Great War. The cryptic letters or initials M and L are the only mark left by a former owner of the card.
