New blog on Beatrix's site Sur le chemin du retour - On the way back
The title was changed approximately 2 minutes later to:
Sur le chemin du retour vers Londres
Vers means towards, therefore:
On the way back towards London
Perhaps she did go to Liverpool after all... Or she's paying more visits.
Edit: The name of the book is:
The Fairy Family - A Series of Ballads and Metrical Tales Illustrating the Fairy Faith of Europe
Bottom says (I believe): London Longman & (or A) C! 1857
Artist of the image is: Sir Edward Burne-Jones
He and, I quote, 'and William Morris (1834-1898) were the leading figures in the second phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.'
Other members of the movement: Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

On the way back to/toward London, correct.
But still no email, no FB or YT contact.
Perhaps when she gets back to London?

Perhaps. We will have to wait and see.
Edited previous post; found more information on the recent blog entry.

As for Gauguin ... It's quite interesting how those numbers pointed in his direction. He was an active artist during the same period as Klimt. They were part of completely different movements though...
Just more art history links with Gauguin - The painting 'The Talisman' from the samedi 7 juin 2008 post was a direct influence on Serusier; from wiki "he painted The Talisman under the close supervision of Gauguin". As already posted, the samedi 7 juin contains a 'clip' of Wer wird mich erlösen.
OT: just catching up been away 2 days, and my hotel room had a painting of Klimt's 'The Kiss'... I nearly fell off my bed ><

The lable for the new post is recherche - search. does that mean search the book or maybe beatrix's research.
There is one fairy in the book that as a little to do with dreams "La Dame Abonde" she prompts action through the medium of dreams.

I'm wondering what all these bloody painters have to do with R'lyeh or if this is only to provide us with better information on Beatrix' 'voyage' (?). Because if it is to depict a journey then the paintings on that blog were posted in that order for a reason...

... That's scary xD
Recherche means research rather than search... So, like Clairenor suggested, does that mean Beatrix is looking into fairytales based on what she saw at the Klimt exhibitiion?... Or do we need to pull this book inside-out?

A few questions.
1: Has anyone else noticed that there looks to be other 'markings' or fingerprints etc, on the French letter/diary by Eleanora to us?
2-a: Have we heard back from Despoiler about a wiki yet?
2-b: Would anybody else mind me remaking this thread completely with a proper title and re-organized?
-- That is all.

Has anybody tried destegging those pages? And I mean literally, destegging them, as opposed to just checking the sizes of the pics? (No offence Gregory lol).

I'd noticed and tried de-steg on all three pages with no success, although other than 'password' and a few other refs like 'page 1' or anything else that came to mind for passwords, didn't really expect a result when I tried. The fact the we received no translation (as it states in the letters), of the letters, was my reasoning that maybe there were more to them than just the text.

My thoughts exactly Tex... Although now I think about it, I think they expected us to get 'frustrated' w/ waiting and therefore using our time to try ourselves to translate it, as we did.

still digging though the le sublime site, in the "extrait des Fleurs du mal" the is one word italicised "sphinx" khnopff also did a painting "The Sphinx"
While wondering through many different wikis I found this entry for Dantes sister http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Rossetti she wrote a poem called "Who shall deliver me"
So Rossetti is now liked to khnopff

You and me both. The login needs to be somewhere on the site.
EDIT: I tried logging on via 1 and 1 Webhost, the webhost that's used for polycycstin.com to no avail.
