Hardy's Wessex: Dorset County Museum


While in Dorchester, I briefly went in Dorset County Museum, the wonderful building above, to have a look at the Thomas Hardy memorabilia inside the place.

Here, it was the portrait of an old Hardy that caught my eye:



The old advertisement of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' below reminded me that Hardy's great novels had been first serialised in magazines:


The portrait of Hardy's first wife, Emma, also caught my eye:


Of course, I also saw the Max Gate study room in the museum (got this shot off the Internet, no matter what I did, I couldn't get a decent shot of it):


But it was the portraits that caught my eye more.
