Letter sent by Beethoven to a little girl in 1812:

“Do not only practice art, but get at the very heart of it; this it deserves, for only art and science raise men to the God-head.

If, my dear Emilie, you at any time wish to know something, write without hesitation to me... /1 Image
The true artist is not proud, he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal; and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun... /2
I would, perhaps, rather come to you and your people, than to many rich folk who display inward poverty.

If one day I should come to [your town], I will come to you, to your house; I know no other excellencies in man than those which causes him to rank among better men; /3

(Thread) Japanese tattooing, or irezumi (入れ墨), is said to have originated in the Jomon Period (10,000 BCE-300 CE).

Below, one of the 105 full-bodied tattoo skins that have been donated to the Medical Pathology Museum at Tokyo University upon the death of their owners.
The museum's collection was put together by Fukushi Masaichi, a Japanese pathologist who even offered to pay for and finish the tattoos for the owners if they agreed to donate their skins upon death.
The photos below were taken in the 1850s-70s, and were all originally hand-tinted (not colorized).

Still can’t decide if I love or hate those. They were very common in France.
