Die neunte Fahrt des Dampfschiffes „Fürth“ vom 5. April 1911 bis 24. September 1911 ist jetzt online. Es ist die einzige Fahrt der „Fürth“ auf der Skandinavien-Linie der Deutsch-Australischen Dampfschiffs-Gesellschaft.

In Schweden wurden Gothenburg (Göteburg) und in Norwegen Frederikstad angelaufen und dort große Mengen Holz geladen. Aber auch reichlich Sprengstoffe waren mit an Bord. In Australien gab es ebenfalls zwei neue Destinationen: Geelong in Victoria und Port Pirie in Südaustralien.

Leider taucht die „Fürth“ im Hafen von Geelong auch in der Kategorie „Schiffs-Unfälle“ auf.

Zum Abschluss werden wir noch erfahren, was es mit „Macassar Boengie“ auf sich hat.

My final selection of paintings by Pierre Bonnard looks at one of his most interesting pictorial devices: the landscape view through French or other windows.

Bonnard developed a taste for views from high points in his cityscapes of Paris during the last years of the nineteenth century. Many of his paintings from that time adopt a high viewpoint from the second or third floor, and look down on bustling people, carriages, and pets in the street. But as far as I can see, he didn’t include the frame of the window in those views.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Street Scene (The Auteuil Viaduct) (c 1910), oil on canvas, 61.5 x 46.3 cm, Private collection. The Athenaeum.

The first sign of him framing a view in this way is in an unusual painting of this Street Scene (The Auteuil Viaduct) made in this town to the west of Paris in about 1910…

Tycho is the Latinized form of Danish Tyge, itself the Danish form of Tóki which comes from Old Norse element Þórr meaning “thunder” which comes from Proto-Germanic *Þunraz (thunder) which derives from a PIE root word. I’ve also seen it listed as possibly being a Latinized form of Greek Tychon meaning “to hit a target; hitting the mark” deriving from PIE root word *dʰewgʰ- (to produce; to be strong, have force). In Greek mythology, Tychon is the name of a daemon of fertility; there’s also another Tychon who is the daemon of chance or accident, who is similar to Tyche, a Greek goddess of fortune,  chance, providence, and fate (even their names come from the same root word).
