Who Was Otto Kubel?

Yes, I think so, but didn't find any. A lot of his work is uncredited and archives were mostly burned at the end of WW2.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

His work is mainly in private hands but I believe you can find it in museums as well.

He worked in oil and water colors for illustrations and postcards.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

Sorry, I am not familar with details, but I think Kubel lived in his house while artists coming for a few months only, rented spaces in the neighborhood.

Who Was Otto Kubel?

The fourth subheading, Books, advises us that "Otto Kubel illustrated numerous books by German and American authors."

Did Otto Kubel illustrate books authored by English authors?

The Snowdonia Slate Trail

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

The Falkland Islands are on my mind because of the En Avant vessel -- with Bill Tilman and climbing associates aboard -- not arriving there from Rio de Janeiro.

It looks like the Falkland Islands lack native dairy product-producing animals.

Might that mean a lucrative market for businesses selling such sources or supplying such desirables as craft and "ordinary" cheeses and ice creams and milks?

The Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Are the bothersome currents of Loch Ness known or did you and Maureen learn about their existence that day?

The Spectres in the Tower

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Did bear hats appeal to anyone who afforded them or did they associate with certain socio-economic niches, such as peers and royals?

The Philosopher and the Gospels: a review

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Genius loci is a compelling, effective story that is not put down until the end, which invites more of the same and more of the different and the similar.

Religious Minorities in Iraq

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Might Yazidi emigrants only relocate to areas already settled or being settled by Zoroastrian peoples?

Book Review: The Moor

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

That comment gives hope for bog slides going onto good ground, for the former's removal and the latter's restoration.

What might one do with, where might one put removed bog slides?

The Camel Trail

Your introductory paragraph advises us of the "tourist venue of Padstow, of culinary fame."

What drinks and eats are accounting for this famous-cuisine reputation?

Blick Mead: Stonehenge's sacred spring

Thank you for your comment in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your comment two boxes down advises us that "Hereditary peers inherit their titles, and descend from either ancient Norman families or from families ennobled by subsequent monarchs."

Where do ancient Anglo-Saxon families from pre-Norman Conquest times fit peerage-wise?

Dating pictures through fashion part 2 . 1910 - 1940s

It intrigues me that the higher is the heel the more a woman is doing professionally and recreationally what a man is doing, and vice versa.

From the late 20th into the early 21st century the fashion trend is the 5-inch (12.7-centimeter) heel, at least among fashion-competitive, fashion-conscious Unitedstatesians.

Might there be a similar footwear trend in the British Isles of the same time period?

The Aviation Park Festival 2016

The paragraph above the 5th in-text image, of the World War II clothes-wearing couple advises us that "Many people joined in the spirit of things and wore WW2 outfits. I asked permission of this lovely couple to put their photo online. They were delightful people and attend all the WW2 events in costume. Aren't they fantastic! She's just gorgeous."

Are the clothes there from the time period or retro interpretations of the time period or both?
