La Mode illustrée, no. 14, 2 avril 1865, Paris. Toilettes de ville de Mme Lise, 17, rue Nve St. Augustin. Chapeau de Mme Aubert, 6, rue Nve des Mathurins. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Description de toilettes:

Robe en taffetas vert myrte, garnie avec une bande dentelée de taffetas plus foncé, bordée de grosses perles noires. Cette bande, qui peut aussi être employée pour allonger une robe trop courte, est dentelée en sens inverse de la robe, c'est-à-dire en creux ; sur chaque côté le lé de devant est aussi dentelé et bordé de perles noires jusqu'à la haute ceinture. Veste courte ouverte sur une chemisette blanche; les manches de la veste sont étroites, à bords dentelés; entournure assortie avec grelots en perles noires. Très-longue ceinture dentelée et entièrement brodée en perles noires. Chapeau de crêpe vert myrte avec ruches de crêpe, dentelle noire, et une rose au-dessus du front.

Robe en poil de chèvre écru foncé. La jupe est garnie avec un biais en taffetas bleu, ayant 10 centimètres de hauteur, bordé avec une étroite frange crêpée de même nuance; ce biais remonte de chaque côté jusqu'à la taille, en diminuant de largeur dans l'espace qu'il laisse libre au milieu; par devant, se trouvent de gros boutons bleus, ornés chacun avec deux glands, diminuant graduellement de volume vers la taille. Au-dessus du biais large sont posés deux autres biais ayant chacun 3 centimètres de largeur. Corsage Roncevaux, à basques dentelées, garnies d'un biais bleu, ayant 2 centimètres de hauteur, bordé d'une frange, et surmonté d'un biais très-étroit, ayant 1 centimètre de largeur; même garniture (biais et frange) aux entournures et à l'extrémité des manches: poignets droits garnis de dentelle de Valenciennes. Col en môme dentelle avec pans noués ; le devant du corsage est garni avec deux biais de 2 centimètres de largeur, deux biais étroits, et, au milieu, avec des boutons à deux glands.

—

Dress in myrtle green taffeta, trimmed with a serrated band of darker taffeta, edged with large black beads. This band, which can also be used to lengthen a dress that is too short, is serrated in the opposite direction of the dress, that is to say hollow; on each side the front strip is also serrated and bordered with black pearls up to the high waistband. Short jacket open on a white shirt; the sleeves of the jacket are narrow, with jagged edges; Matching surround with bells in black pearls. Very long jagged belt entirely embroidered in black pearls. Myrtle green crepe hat with crepe ruffles, black lace, and a rose above the forehead.

Dress in dark ecru goat hair. The skirt is trimmed with a bias in blue taffeta, 10 centimeters high, edged with a narrow crepe fringe of the same shade; this bias goes up on each side to the waist, decreasing in width in the space it leaves free in the middle; in front are large blue buttons, each adorned with two tassels, gradually decreasing in size towards the waist. Above the wide bias are placed two other biases, each 3 centimeters wide. Roncesvalles bodice, with serrated basques, trimmed with a blue bias, 2 centimeters high, edged with a fringe, and surmounted by a very narrow bias, 1 centimeter wide; same trim (bias and fringe) at the armholes and at the end of the sleeves: straight cuffs trimmed with Valenciennes lace. Same lace collar with knotted panels; the front of the bodice is trimmed with two bias tapes 2 centimeters wide, two narrow bias tapes, and, in the middle, with buttons with two tassels.

After my good friend Johan correctly located the location of this image I was further intrigued. It is The Tomb of Roland at Roncesvalles in Navarre, tucked away in a Pyrenean valley just inside Spain. Thing is the monument as seen here doesn’t exist anymore. It reportedly collapsed in a storm. Yet nothing of the structure - not even the dolmenesque table appears to remain. It’s not hard to see why this spot would have been on the Condor Legion ‘Nazi away-day itinerary’ - a huge icon of Christianity and a pillar of the Western literary canon, La Chanson de Roland is a 4,000 word epic poem composed somewhere around 1040 AD. It concerns the heroic defeat and death of Emperor Charlemagne’s nephew, the Paladin Roland, as he defends the rearguard of the Frankish army, retreating north through the Roncesvalles Pass in AD 778. The poem really marks the commencement of the Age of Chivalry with all its tropes. Of course the Nazis wished to associate themselves with such mythology. The intervening images were found on the net and bear out the popularity of this place with the Condor Legion. This is neatly represented by the final image here - an early 🤦‍♂️ face-palm by Charlemagne himself as he gazes upon Roland’s supine corpse with his legendary sword Durandel at his side. According to legend Roland isn’t even buried here anyway. His body and that of his fellow Paladin Olivier were taken North to Blaye. #tombofroland #roncesvalles #condorlegion (at Hanworth, Hounslow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0_4tosC-O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

＋day2　to Zubiri（21.5㎞）

👣roncesvalles - burguete - espinal - bizkarreta - lintzoain - zubiri

i started from Roncesvalles to Zubiri at 6a.m. my clothes i washed yesterday were still wet, so i hung them with my backpack.

the road to zubiri has long downhill, and it was hard for me to walk. i arrived at zubiri so much later than other people, and it was difficult to find a bed for tonight. but finally i could check-in an albergue and was happy to take a shower.

at dinner time, i enjoyed peregrino menu with many other peregrinos, although i was a little bit nervous because i'm not good at speaking english.

i felt (and also feel now) thanks for their kindness.

☞ see below for the diary in japanese & more photos.

Camino de Santiago: 2.5.6. Receptionist

2.5.6. Receptionist Hal lain yang tidak umum saya alami adalah ketika check in di penginapan. Hal ini juga perlu teman2 ketahui supaya tidak bingung seperti yang saya alami :). Mungkin karena tenaga kerja mahal disana, maka resepsionisnya bisa merangkap apa saja, ibu rumah tangga, pelayan restaurant, penjaga mini market dll :). Ini hal yang umum disana, tapi bukan hal umum bagi kita, jadi…
