Rome and Honeymoon Notes - Page 5
Description
This is the third page of 14 which has notes on Henry's visit to Rome and Henry and Mae's honeymoon. Various notes on the right-hand side of the page include:
- His glass perpetually full
- Peach? Pomegranate? Figs?
- Pears are ripe - so September - bougainvillea in bloom, Oleander as well, passiflora vine, star jasmine
- Rambler roses - Himalayan musk
- Italian cypress trees
- Fragrant olive, myrtle
- The really fancy uniforms were more likely to have gilt buttons (thin layer of gold)
- Murano glass - it is Venetian but is coloured in the glass blowing process
- So you could have Murano glasses of deepest burgundy, they often have gold leaf deigns on them - 24 K, also generally called Venetian glass
- Carved doors? baroque carved doors - baroque described as having emotional exuberance - panelled doors is fine but there are lots of carved doors in Rome in particular
