Spinelli et Sivel

One of the most unusual gravesite at  Cimetière de Père-Lachaise, has to be the resting place of Spinelli et Sivel. They died in a balloon accident in 1875 and are buried together in this beautiful gravesite. As a photographer, the coloration on the monument intrigued me.

Le Docteur





Cimetière Père-Lachaise

Does the name Auguste Moog seem familiar? Of course it does.  Docteur Moog wrote the wildly successful Les eliminations urinaires dans le néphrites subaigües,  in 1903.  I was a little disappointed as I had hoped he'd written on the subject of mustaches.
