@iron--and--blood regarding our recent chat!

Grad school is lying to you. You can indulge fixations on obscure topics on your own time. You can sit in a library color-coding notes on articles printed from JSTOR for free. You can argue with dead philosophers in essay format whenever you like. Academia is a state of mind.

This pic has taken over my life this April, now I've looked at it too much lol

anyway, here's the print shop and the three amigos, with some detail shots.

I took a lot of liberties (lol) with the layout and architecture of the shop itself. I think its fair, considering that the show took a bunch of liberties themselves when designing their version of the shop. I don't think benji's house exists any more, and the building that was the shop is super small and definitely not enough to actually house people. I think the show must have blended elements of both. With that in mind, I took some limited inspiration from the show and came up with what you see here.

I wonder if Paul Gavarni a.k.a. Guillaume Chevallier ever regretted his youthful pseudonym of "Hippolyte." Some of his earliest works from the 1820s were signed H.G. or H. Chevallier. (See his biography by Octave Uzanne).

From now until the end of time, Gavarni bio-blurbs on the Internet, and even the Paris Musées collection, run on the assumption that Hippolyte was his Real Name and not yet another alias. "Paul Gavarni, born Hippolyte Sulpice Abracadabra Champs-Élysées Paul Chevalier Guillaume Chevallier, was a French artist of the 19th century."

“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)

#“I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes” #must be the most astute thing ever said about byron??
