Nathaniel Olds, Jeptha Homer Wade , 1837, Cleveland Museum of Art: American Painting and Sculpture

The green-tinted spectacles worn by Olds were designed to protect the eyes from the intensity of Argand lamps, a type of indoor light used during the early 1800s. These lamps burned whale oil, and many people worried that its bright flames might damage eyesight.The painter of this portrait founded the Western Union Telegraph Company in 1854 and soon became one of Cleveland’s wealthiest industrialists. His grandson, Jeptha Wade II, was a founder of the Cleveland Museum of Art and donated the land upon which it stands as a Christmas gift to the city in 1892. Size: Framed: 87 x 71.8 x 5.7 cm (34 ¼ x 28 ¼ x 2 ¼ in.); Unframed: 76.5 x 61.2 cm (30 1/8 x 24 1/8 in.) Medium: oil on canvas

This is the scariest addition to a post I think I’ve ever seen

story time: when my brother was born I was about three years old and I can’t remember much, I just remember wanting to pick his name and finally settling on “Rainbow” and telling my parents hey so I decided we should name the kid Rainbow, top name right

bear in mind i was three and had all the naming capacity of a young fan making their first forays into making a power fantasy self-insert oc

but apparently dreams can get you somehwere because years later, when i was about thirteen i mentioned this memory to my mother, and she said “yeah, we called him that” and I was like “lmao as if you called him that I know brother’s name duh” and in short she got out his birth certificate, and yeah. My brother’s fucking middle name is, officially and legally, Rainbeau.

ok but it gets better. because my brother’s first name is Morgan, a welsh name which by some translations means “arc over the sea,” which can be argued means “rainbow”

my parents called my brother Rainbow Rainbow

i had too much power when i was three

You went 10 years not knowing your own brother’s fucking middle name?

Might fuck around and create a fantasy world in my mind to distract myself from the pressures of reality.
