Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    In Victorian Britain it was not permitted to depict images of members of the government and in 1873 the government of William Gladstone banned the play The Happy Land because the characters in the play included the Prime Minister and 2 of his ministers. The author had attempted to avoid censorship by labeling the characters “Mr G., Mr L., and Mr A.” The Prince Of Wales attended the opening night and was shocked by the attack on the government which his mother - Queen Victoria - was head of. The play was quickly banned but public outrage lead to it being unbanned, and its notoriety was responsible for a long run of 222 performances.
