Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

The in-text image between the first subheading, Illustrations, and the second, Relief, appears quite aesthetic, quite striking.

That image invites further acquaintance. But my cursor leaves me clueless about artistic attributions even as I operate in Mozilla Firefox!

Would you have the information regarding the where in his work and the who of his subject?

Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Walk, Cumbria

Your first in-text image apprises us of railway bridges.

The aforementioned bridge now serves as a footpath. What was its original function, purpose and use?

The Appeal of Ruins

The demons are rogue angels, so it is thought, so lack human souls. We do not know much about the damned, whether there is any hope for them.

Chadkirk Chapel, Cheshire

Your daughter-in-law caught such clear images through her camera.

In particular, the second and the fifth in-text images convey the beauty of, and the skill behind, the arboricultural espaliering technique.

Do you like wall-trained trees? I do (especially the ones I've done ;-D!)!

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

The first in-text image amuses me.

Does it look to you, as it does to me, that Beast is sitting comfortably, with legs crossed, atop a table?

The Appeal of Ruins

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

It intrigues me how the Church interpreted Dame Julian of Norwich (Nov. 8, 1342-1416?) in her lifetime and from her lifetime onward to now.

If Hell-living Satan lacks an archangelic equivalent of a human soul, then his Hell-living angelic and archangelic followers each lack one too, correct?

So might Hell lose its bedeviled human souls even as it maintains its soul-less leader and his Satan-mustered soul-less followers?

The Berwyns: a lonely, but beautiful range

I found nothing of value on the beach. But the search was fun.

The Appeal of Ruins

Satan was never a human being, but an archangel who went wrong. He therefore never had a human soul.

The Appeal of Ruins

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

The empty-Hell showing to Dame Julian of Norwich (Nov. 8, 1342-1416?) appears to assist all souls toward their salvation.

But does everyone have souls?

Might it be possible for someone such as Satan either never to have been soul-full or to have destroyed or extirpated or lost or transformed it?

The Coledale Inn, Braithwaite, Cumbria, England

The first and the last sentences to the fourth subheading, Fire at Coledale December 1898, respectively consider that "A terrible fire, totally destroyed the pencil works at the house on December 17th 1898" and that "The business was destroyed but this remarkable house stayed standing to be repaired."

That fire did not affect the area graphite supply, correct?

So is it that this particular pencil works no longer kept operating even as this business failure kindled other pencil works or that no pencil works served as replacement and successor?

The Berwyns: a lonely, but beautiful range

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

Rockpooling and rolly poley appear quite educationally entertaining, entertainingly educational.

Did you find beach life or debris, trash or treasure? Did family and friends join in?

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

The Findagrave site conserves an image of the burial marker with the information "In loving remembrance of Robert Anning Bell Royal Academician Died in London November 27 1933 in his 71st year Requiescat in Pace His ashes lie under this slab."

That site's informational entry considers Robert Anning Bell as born April 14, 1863, in London and as buried in St. James Churchyard, Piccadilly, City of Westminster, greater London, England.

Does it not look to you, as it does to me, that his second wife, as portraitist and as ex-wife of artist Émile Troncy (April 2, 1860-March 25, 1943), must have been buried elsewhere to merit no mention on the Findagrave site?

Pretirement:one year on

Broken furniture and appliances. It is the place for garbage, the dump. The tip now selects items into different categories for recycling.

Robert Anning Bell - His Life and His Works

It appears that Amy Caroline Ditchham Bell was one of two sisters to Ellen Emily Ditchham (1876?-?) of Chiswick, wife of artist and portraitist Herbert Charles Turrell (1871?-?) of Wimbledon.

Might you have come across the aforementioned artist and portrait painter in your Bell-related researches?

Pretirement:one year on

Thank you for your comment April 8, 2023, in answer to my previous observations and question April 7, 2023.

Your comment designates a "tip" as final destination of "larger or occasional items."

What might "occasional items" and the tip be?

Might the latter be a landfill?
