Edward Killingworth Johnson
Edward Killingworth Johnson (1825 - 1896) était un graveur sur bois, illustrateur et aquarelliste britannique. Il est connu pour avoir créé les premières illustrations du roman She, publié par Rider Haggard en 1887.
Johnson est né à Bow, Londres, le 30 mai 1825 d'un marchand irlandais, Richard Johnson, et de sa femme Mary Meadows. Il a suivi une formation d'apprenti auprès du graveur sur bois John Orrin Smith à partir de 1839, puis auprès de l'associé de Smith, William James Linton. Il travaille ensuite comme graveur sur bois pendant plusieurs années. Il étudie le dessin à la Langham Life School et commence à peindre professionnellement vers 1863. Dans les années 1860, il collabore régulièrement aux périodiques illustrés The Illustrated London News et, à partir de 1869, The Graphic. Il devient membre de la Society of Painters in Water Colours en 1876; il y expose ses œuvres, ainsi qu'à la Royal Academy, à l'American Society of Painters in Water Color, à l'Exposition de Philadelphie et à l'Exposition universelle de Paris.
Johnson épouse Hannah Reynolds en novembre 1871; ils quittent Londres pour s'installer dans la maison familiale de Baker's Farm, dans l'Essex, et ont trois enfants. Ses oncles étaient l'illustrateur et aquarelliste John Masey Wright et le peintre de marine James Meadows. Il meurt à Halstead, dans l'Essex, le 7 avril 1896, et est enterré à Sible Hedingham.
Johnson a préparé les premières illustrations du roman She de Rider Haggard (1887), qui restent parmi ses œuvres les plus connues.
De nombreuses œuvres de Johnson sont répertoriées dans le catalogue de vente aux enchères préparé après sa mort.

Sorry for the downtime
Housing situation has been a pain, still on the temporary server environment and been hitting major resources bottlenecks.
I'm hoping to get a place sooner, but I've hit some roadblocks that very likely will push it drastically further out... in which case I'll need to spend more money on this environment to return things to stable.
Reminder that I'm covering this entirely out of my own pocket and these constraints are because I'm between homes and can't use my own much cheaper hardware. If you appreciate this instance I would very much appreciate a donation.

I'm an analogue digital hybrid who cares about mental health issues, music, photography and art.
I'm deeply suspicious of ducks (in a less than serious way) and although I exist on Mastodon I'm keen to migrate to Friendica.
Best wishes all.
Mist and fog clouds over this domain. The thoughts of raceme flowers and pinnated ferns hang over my minds eye as I walk with covered pupils. The hard dirt feels rock like, with an occasional trip over roots.

So the temporary system had some sort of failure, I'm not even 100% sure what caused it to be honest. It went down sometime yesterday and some of the virtual drives got corrupted, which caught the database and the virtual gateway device.
I was able to restore the system... most of the way. Thankfully there are backups of the database, but some of them were also flawed as well, the most recent intact one was from 5/16, so 5 days were lost.
To be clear, this problem was exacerbated by the fact that there's not as much redundancy in the temporary setup (sadly it looks like it'll be a few more months before I have a place of my own and can spin up my own hardware again). But I'm going to still look at how I might get those in better shape.
As far as how long it took: I had a busy day yesterday and didn't see that the server was down until I was too exhausted to do anything about it, so it had to wait until I got off work today... each attempt at restoring the database takes around an hour, so that took *a while* to get restored.

Image Upload Trouble
If y'all have had issues uploading images... sorry about that.
I missed a setting when re-configuring the server after transfer to it's current environment and it's fixed now.
Longer Explanation: there are two servers involved, a reverse proxy and then the actual Friendica server. The Friendica server accepted uploads up to 100MB... the proxy didn't have that setting... so it would just go for a bit, then timeout. Added that setting to the proxy and all solved.
