    Flickr is sometimes un-signed! Via painting in light, who says,
    "A Beagles postcard featuring a 1882 photograph by Chancellor of Dublin of tenor Barton McGuckin in the role of 'Wilhelm Meister' in the opera Mignon by Ambroise Thomas. ..."

    "Such heat I have never before experienced," he said, adding merrily, " except in a Turkish bath. The other members of the company, with the exception of our accompanist, are all Australians, and consequently do not feel it. As for myself, the present weather is almost unbearable ; with the wind like a puff from a furnace, and the dust it means the ruination of a man's voice."

    Too easy with Google Lens -

  • beachcomber australia said:
    This is unusual - from the wiki above - "Sha'arawi is depicted in the song "The Lioness" by English singer-songwriter Frank Turner on his 2019 album No Man's Land."

    There are plenty of photos credited to G. Lekigian of Cairo in such illustrated periodicals as The Graphic and the Illustrated London News, and also to C.Lekigian and L. Lekigian, the latest being in 1919. In 2002 the Dundee Weekly News published a photo of camels, palm trees, Nile waters and the pyramids taken by Mrs Lekigian in the 1860s.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Google Lens is sometimes amazing! Often it's AI gobbledegook ...
    I am more than a little interested in this lady because my own Irish grandfather was a fairly senior officer in the Egyptian colonial Police from 1919 to 1937. He would certainly have known of Huda Sha'arawi, and possibly she knew of my grandfather.
    [Aside - my mother was born in Cairo in 1922, which makes her my Egyptian Mummy ! ]

There is nothin' like this Dame...

    Born at Baltiboys House near Blessington, here at the NIAH. The DIB thinks this house is underwater, but is wrong.
