Yesterday I discovered that Enrique Granados drowned in the Atlantic Ocean, 1914, after the passenger liner he was on board was torpedoed by a WWI German U-boat. Was Enrique escaping Europe, or returning to compose again on his home turf?
Always a pleasure to watch you draw but the chap who was filming had obviously drunk so much beer he couldn't keep the camera steady & focuses mostly on the back of your left hand!
that's a beautiful "petit larousse illustre" you have here.

ReplyDeleteI've just bought in Oxfam for five quids, Stef. It is from 1916 and has some amazing engravings, Stef.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, Andreushka!
Oscar,

It wasn't a torpedo what sank the boat. Granados himself exploded.
