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.
Yes Rob, I was very inspired by art nouveau at the time,gravitating toward the more grotesque aspects (Beardsley's strange monsters cheek by jowl exotic dancers for example.)
It looks like an art nouveau poster by Mucha going to the dark side:-). The mouth (with the missing teeth) and eye are intriguing.
