Lista de Personas Famosas que murieron en 1916

Eleanor Vere Boyle fue una artista escocesa de la época victoriana cuyo trabajo consistía principalmente en ilustraciones en acuarela para libros infantiles. Estas ilustraciones fueron fuertemente influenciadas por los prerrafaelitas, siendo muy detalladas y de contenido inquietante. El amor y la muerte eran temas populares del arte prerrafaelita y algo que se puede ver en la obra de Eleanor Vere Boyle. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, el fundador de la Hermandad Prerrafaelita, incluso llamó a su trabajo "gran diseño". Sin embargo, a pesar de que fue una de las primeras mujeres artistas en ser reconocida por sus logros, no exhibía ni vendía obras con frecuencia, ya que no era aceptable dada la condición social de su familia. Así, firmó sus obras como “EVB” para oscurecer su identidad y rápidamente se convirtió en una de las ilustradoras más importantes de la década de 1860.

Sir George Scott Robertson, was a British soldier, author, and administrator who was best known for his arduous journey to the remote and rugged region of Kafiristan in what is now northeastern Afghanistan and for his overall command of British Empire forces during the Siege of Chitral. He chronicled his Kafiristan experience in the book The Kafirs of the Hindu Kush. Some have suggested that Robertson's year-long expedition and subsequent book provided background and inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's short story "The Man Who Would Be King". However, Kipling's work was originally published in 1888, predating Robertson's travels to the region.
