So, some of you may remember that on May 14th I posted that I had found a postcard sent by H.G. Wells to his wife and that I'd sent scans to the H.G. Wells Society to see if it could be evaluated. I heard back last night. The expert wishes to remain anonymous, but has given permission for the details of the evaluation to be shared. Below are the scans that I sent of the front and back of the card. The card shows a train at the top of the Brünig Pass in Switzerland... 1/11

The back of the postcard sent by H.G. Wells, showing the address of Mrs Wells where the card was sent.

Then it all clicked into place. I found another contemporary H.G. Wells, an artist, who lived in Woking at the same time that H.G. Wells was also in Woking, where he was writing The War of the Worlds. In fact, they both lived on Maybury Road, Woking, at the same time. And, they were both called Herbert George Wells. The author was born in Bromley in September 1866; the artist was born in Camberwell with the birth registered in September 1867. It seems that they were both also... 9/11

I’ve been trying.

Me, to Emptywheel:

Hey you. Any way you can post your blog posts on Mastodon? I had to fill them in, letting them know you HAD a blog. They really miss you over there, so maybe this is a good compromise to not posting other commentary regularly over there?

emptywheel:
@emptywheel Will do. I've gotten stretched thin, but thanks for the help.

@GottaLaff @emptywheel I just set up a page via rss-parrot which will pull the RSS feed onto Mastodon and can be followed. It's at @www.emptywheel.net@rss-parrot.net
