The two by Aimee measure 8†x 10.5†and the one by Edith measures 7†x 8.5.†All three diaries have very descriptive writing and are filled with photos postcards drawings and ephemera. They talk about seeing the sights taking photographs and sketching.<br /> <br /> Aimee Lamb 1893-1910 was born and died in Boston. She studied art at the Winsor School 1905 - 1910 and the School of Fine Arts in Boston 1913 - 1917 . She also studied under artists Philip Hale and William James.<br /> <br /> Her biography on AskARt includes: <br /> <br /> In the early 1920´s she studied two summers in Dublin N H. with Alexander James and Richard Meryman and two more summers with the artist Charles Woodbury in Maine. In New York she studied under the Portrait painter artist Cecilia Beaux. Although she is better known for her philanthropic contribution to the arts community Lamb's paintings and drawings have been represented in exhibitions with the Boston Institute of Modern Art The Copley Society The Boston Athenaeum and the National Museum of Women in the Arts as well as in a number of private collections.<br /> <br /> Her work is in the MFA in Boston including a portrait of her sister Edith Duncan Lamb.<br /> Edith 1901-1928 was born in Massachusetts and died in Maine after a long illness.<br /> <br /> Diary #1 – Aimee Lamb 1911 – 153 handwritten pages 7 unused with approximately 115 photos 60 postcards and 18 drawings some on the page some tipped in. Other items inside include Grouse feathers playbills clippings etc. The diary starts on July 25th and ends on October 25th. On this trip she visited England and France. On the first day she wrote “My first trip abroad with Aunt Rose 1911.†They started from Boston and arrived in Liverpool on August 7th. The covers are detached and the spine is missing. Some items are detached from the page though it appears that nothing is missing.<br /> A few examples of her writing include:<br /> August 14th Monday Porlock: I got up quite early and went out and took some photographs and sketched a little before breakfast. The sun was rather fad for photographing……We went to the Castle Hotel where we found we could have a beautiful large double room overlooking the sea so we took it. I tad the most magnificent views of great high pinky cliffs. You could not see the horizon as there was a fog but it made the view so soft and lovely. I went sound asleep in the afternoon and Aunt Rose rested. When I woke up she read me from Lorna Doone. It is the most enchanting book I never appreciated it when I first read it but now I have seen the country and I am older and I think it is most charming. After dinner I wrote to Tom and then went to bed.<br /> September 27th: In the morning we took a carriage for the day and started at nine o’clock. We drove first to Tregastel where there were the most wonderful rocks I have ever seen. They looked like queer animals monsters. We stayed there an hour or so walking around on them. I wish we had had more time for it was enchanting. I picked up quantities of lovely yellow shells I found in the sand for Edith. I also took some photographs but they give no idea of the size of the rocks where were gigantic. They were all named but we didn’t know the names. <br /> <br /> Diary #2. Aimee Lamb undated as to year. Starts February 21st on board the SS Adriatic with her mother and they spent time in Italy. I believe the year is 1917 as she says that they leave on Ash Wednesday and that year it was February 21st. There are 9 larger souvenir type of photos over 30 postcards and four small watercolors. There are also some dried flowers in between the pages. <br /> Examples of her entries include:<br /> Friday March 8th Naples to Sorrento: The Hunnewells had accepted our invitation to join us in taking the trip around Sorrento Amalfi etc. We started out bright and early stopping at Parks on our way where we met the Hunnewells. We took the 10 O’clock train for Pompeii. I was perfectly delight with Pompeii. It was so picturesque and paintable. I had an idea that it had only one or two streets but I was much mistaken. It is a large city. We walked for two hours and a half steadily and then didn’t see it all. There were so many interesting houses that we walked until we nearly dropped. I took a good many photographs. We took a carriage on Cook’s ticket and drove to Sorrento. About a two-hour drive. We had brought our lunch with us expecting to eat it at Pompeii but hadn’t had time so we ate it in the carriage. Mana and Louisa sat forwards and Arnold and I sat backwards. We won the drivers heart by offering him a piece of cheese which had fallen at the bottom of the carriage. He was delighted and stuffed it under the seat of the box saying he had had three wives and fifteen children……. The drive to Sorrento was pretty. We found very good rooms in a delightful hotel Victoria over hanging the sea. <br /> Tuesday March 19th Rome: Passed morning in bed very tired. Harriet Post came to lunch but had to go early sorry to say. I read and painted all afternoon while Mama went out with Miss Pine to call on Mr. and Mrs. Millet. <br /> <br /> The third diary is written by Aimee Lamb’s sister Edith Duncan Lamb whose name is listed in a passenger list headed to Europe in June 1923 and headed back to New York that September. 243 pages used with 55 pages unused. It is chock full of about 160 postcards 75 photos one watercolor theatre programs ticket stubs and other assorted ephemera. She traveled around England and Scotland. Her handwriting takes a little more time to get used to but it is legible. Some examples include:<br /> Winchester July 22nd: In the morning I was told that Master woods would go with me the cathedral. So off we started. He is a most charming child of twelve. The music was lovely with beautiful soprano notes. We sat in the back as the choir was so full. It is hard to hear the service here but the singing was more lovely…… <br /> Edinburgh Sunday August 25th: This morning we went to the St. Giles to church. Edinburgh was very quiet indeed a change from the jostling mob of Saturday night. St. Giles was most impressive. The soft light and the stone pillars and wall that looks made of square stones rightly put together……The service was one of the most impressive I have ever been to. The first lesson was about the friendship of Saul & Jonathan the second chapter of St. John……In the afternoon I have been writing to catch up with my diary. unknown

Dans les bulles au-dessus des personnages, au second plan de gche à dte : Dupin, refusant de suivre d’Argout : « Non, non, // vous n’y voyez // pas plus long // que votre nez. Ça // finira mal. », d’Argout, s’adressant à Dupin : « Venez donc avec nous, // [mon] cher, chacun-z-a // le droit d’y aller. », Lobau : « Connu, connu, la // vieille. On les a // vues tes femmes ! », Guizot, s’adressant à Louis-Philippe : « J’ai prouvé que vous auriez // tort, j’ai prouvé que vous // auriez raison. Je prouverai // tout ce qu’il faudra. », Barthe, s’adressant à Louis-Philippe : « Allez y, je vous // y engage, foi de Carbonaro ! ». Au premier plan, de gche à dte : Soult, s’adressant à Louis-Philippe et posant une main sur l’épaule de ce dernier pour l’inciter : « Allez donc, allez // donc, ce sont de // bonnes personnes, // Je les connais de // longue main. », Thiers au tout premier plan, et enfin Louis-Philippe, vu de trois quarts dos. Il porte un grand manteau et tient à la main son chapeau décoré de la cocarde tricolore. Les membres du gouvernement se trouvent dans la rue, « Boulevard // De // Coblentz » (Coblentz est le lieu où Louis-Philippe trouva, lors de son exil, sauvegardées des éléments de la noblesse française d’ancien régime). Les ministres incitent le roi à aller rendre visite à des prostituées, incarnations de l’ancien régime. La pl. se moque ainsi des tentations monarchiques auxquelles est soumis Louis-Philippe. La mère maquerelle, vieille femme portant une fleur de lys sur sa coiffe, un médaillon avec la lettre « H » surmontant une poire au cou, est vêtue d’une robe sur laquelle peut se lire « GAZETTE //DE // FRANCE // et // Holyrood » : il s’agit du journal le plus légitimiste sous la Monarchie de Juillet. Il essaie d’attirer le roi. Holyrood est une référence à un des lieux de séjour en Ecosse des émigrés aristocrates après la Révolution française. Cette mère maquerelle dit à Louis-Philippe : « Venez donc, belhomme, // elles sont bien aimables, // elles ont un bon feu. belhomme ! // cupidon ! ». Derrière se tiennent deux courtisanes : la première, mince, porte une robe décorée d’une frise de poire en bas. Elle a le pied droit posé sur une feuille volante titrée « CHARTE », montrant de manière significative que les principes de la Charte sont bafoués. Il s’agit de la princesse Louise, fille aînée de Louis-Philippe. La seconde prostituée, plus forte, porte deux broches en forme de fleur de lys. Il s’agit de la duchesse d’Angoulême, fille de Louis XVI et Marie-Antoinette. Les deux travailleuses représentent respectivement la légitimité et l’illégalité. Au fond à dte, dans la pénombre, un homme assiste à la scène. Il cache un fusil dans son dos, porte une arme blanche à sa ceinture, et un médaillon avec l’initial « H » autour du cou, certainement l’initial de Henri V, qui aurait dû monter sur le trône à la place de Louis-Philippe.La pl. dénonce les mauvais conseils prodigués par les ministres au roi des Français, lequel est poussé à abandonner ses principes républicains et d’embrasser les idées moins libérales. La pl. utilise le parallèle d’un homme incité à s’adonner aux plaisirs de la chair. Le titre est la parole du Christ tirée de l'Evangile affirmant « Ainsi vous n'avez pas eu la force de veiller une heure avec moi. Veiller et prier pour ne pas entrer en tentation; l'esprit est ardent mais la chair est faible ». Louis-Philippe est, quant à lui, tenté par les principes monarchiques.Personne / Personnage représenté:Thiers, Adolphe; Louis-Philippe Ier, roi des Français; Dupin, André Marie Jean-Jacques (dit Dupin aîné); Mouton, Georges, comte de Lobau; Guizot, François; Argout, Antoine Maurice Apollinaire d', baron; Soult, Nicolas-Jean de Dieu; Barthe, Félix
