Romantic era of Victoria explorers part 2

More of those period costumes / cosplayers.

The group of drummers in black & purple below
is only loosely related to steampunk; they often appear in related events.

Romantic era of Victorian Explorers part 1

Went very briefly to a Steampunk Festival.

Because there is a themed ball in the evening,
people came from different places wearing very glamorous period costumes & gears!

Lovely. Something different. Something romantic.
Something that tickle imagination & fantasy.

There are stalls & live music, too.

2017.

Trip. Tate Gallery 3

In Tate London, there are  famous pieces of works by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the main building exhibition halls. (romantic, symbolism)

There are also more works put elsewhere in the same building...
but first you need a map.

Then it is a long walk along other halls.
Then climb up stairs...
Then, in a room,
much quieter
and less people,
dimmer light...

 

Pencial drawings!!!
And lovely shapes
of the
mounting matt board
really
thoughtfully
made for the drawings !!!

Draft study is different from the finished work. Interesting to see drafts.
