Henry Charles Lea (1825-1909)


Henry was an interesting chap. You can wiki him but in brief, he was a Philly lad, his father of Quaker descent and a naturalist, his mothers family was in the publishing business. He had a fascinating education from some genius guy who tutored he and his brother. He went into the publishing business and then at 22, he had a nervous breakdown, recovered, focused his interest on the study of church history of the Middle Ages and occult sciences. Later, he married his cousin and was a very productive member of society. A bit of an anarchist and rabble rouser really. Completed 2015. AVAILABLE through the artist.

  1. Wow.The interview was in my recommended feed on YouTube. Not sure why, but this art really sings to me, so many thoughts swirled around my brain, it’s hard to nail down. Almost like going down a rabbit hole. Where can I buy a piece?
