La Lidia
Some postcards from Daniel Perera at Biblioteca virtual de Andalucia. Link…
• La Lidia. Revista raurina, Madrid 1891. The magazine contained scenes of bullfights and portraits of popular matadors. La Lidia was published between 1882 and 1900 and the chromolithography’s contributed to a great extent to the popularity of the magazine and the diffusion of the important changes that were taking place in the artistic approach of tauromachy. Daniel Perea [1836-1909] was artistic director of the magazine and is 1 of the 3 (besides Jose Chaves and Lizcano Angel) who illustrated this bullfighting periodical.

110. The man in question, Daniel Perea, had been a student at the Madrid school and in 1856 he became a teaching assistant (CNSC I859, 30), although he served in this latter capacity only briefiy (AGACE, Educación y Ciencia, leg. 3,766). By the time he was hired as art teacher in 1886, half a century after Prádez's death, he was a well-known artist specializing in bullfight scenes; his appointment had been supported by colleagues in Madrid's Circle of Fine Arts, of which he was a member (AGACE, Educación y Ciencia, leg. 3,766, petition of January 2, 1886, from members of the Cirele of Fine Arts of Madrid to the Ministry of Development). Perea taught at the school for nearly a quarter of a century, until his death in 1909. [BACK]

Karl von Amira
Karl Konrad Ferdinand Maria von Amira (1848-1930), studied jurisprudence in Munich.

It was never published but the somewhat eerie and at times, gruesome material is available at The Digital Library Department of the Bavarian State Library. Link…

The Babes In The Wood
What a tale!
Thus wandered these two prettye babes,The endnotes say "The humour of Randolph Caldecott’s drawings is simply irresistible, no healthy-minded man, woman, or child could look at them without laughing." Yes, I bet they had the kids ROFL. Link…
Till death did end their grief;
In one another’s armes they dyed,
As babes wanting relief.
No burial these prettye babes
Of any man receives,
Till Robin-redbreast painfully
Did cover them with leaves.
