# William Valentine (painter)

William Valentine (1798–1849) was a portrait painter and daguerreotypist in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

## Life

Born in 1798 in Whitehaven, England, he migrated to Halifax in 1818. In 1822 he married Susannah Smith there, with whom he had two daughters. He married again in 1830 to Sarah Sellon. He died on December 26 in 1849 and was buried at Camp Hill Cemetery, Halifax.

## Career

From 1819 he worked as a portrait painter, teacher, and painter of signs and architectural ornaments. In his early career, Valentine also worked as a house painter in periods that saw less commissions. He filled a void left by portrait painter Robert Field who had practiced in Halifax from 1808 to 1816. Valentine painted his subjects in a naturalistic, plain style distinct from that of contemporary European portraitists. His portraits often featured black-clad sitters against dark backgrounds.
Valentine studied painting in England in 1836, after which his work visibly improved. In 1839 he travelled to Paris where he learned the Daguerreotype process, an early form of photography, of which he was a pioneer in Canada as early as 1842. Valentine was a mentor and later a business partner of the photographer Thomas Coffin Doane.
In the 1830s and '40s he apparently worked in various places in Atlantic Canada, as evidenced by advertisements placed in Charlottetown, Saint John, and St. John's.

## Works

His main interest was in portraits, of which he painted about 125-150. The included many notaries of the day, including Thomas Chandler Haliburton, Alexander Keith and William Black. Although some paintings were destroyed in a studio fire shortly before his death, many of his works are preserved at the National Gallery of Canada, the Library and Archives Canada, the New Brunswick Museum, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

# Milyas

Milyas (Ancient Greek: Μιλυάς) was a mountainous country in ancient south-west Anatolia (modern Turkey). However, it is generally described as being mostly in the northern part of the successor kingdom of Lycia, as well as southern Pisidia, and part of eastern Phrygia. According to Herodotus, the boundaries of Milyas were never fixed.
Its inhabitants used the endonym Milyae (Μιλύαι), or Milyans. However, the oldest known name for inhabitants of the area is Sólymoi (Σόλυμοι), Solymi and Solymians – names that are probably derived from the nearby Mount Solymus. Louis Feldman suggested that the Solymoi originally spoke an unattested Semitic language (this opinion is not commonly supported), whereas the Milyan language was an Indo-European language.

## Toponymy

Later the name Milyas was sometimes used to describe only as a part of Lycia. However, after the accession of the dynasty of the Greek Seleucidae in Syria, the name Milyas was limited to the south-western part of Pisidia, bordering upon Lycia, that is, the territory extending from Termessus northward to the foot of Mount Cadmus. This district, the western part of which bore the name of Cabalia, is afterwards described, sometimes as a part of Lycia (as by Ptolemy) and sometimes as part of Pamphylia or Pisidia (as by Pliny the Elder). After the conquest of the Greek Antiochus the Great, the Romans gave the country to Eumenes, though Pisidian princes still continue to be mentioned as its rulers.

## Geography

The Solymi appear to have taken their name from a mountain in Anatolia named Solymus (later Güllük Dagi).
The greater part of Milyas was rugged and mountainous, but it also contained a few fertile plains. The name, which does not occur in the Homeric poems, probably belonged to the remnants of the Milyae, who had been driven into the mountains by invaders from Crete, known as the Termilae, who later referred to themselves as Lycians.
Important cities and towns in Milyas included Cibyra, Oenoanda, Balbura, and Bubon, which formed the Cibyratian tetrapolis. Some authors also mention a town named Milyas, which must have been situated north of Termessus in Pisidia.
# Elizabeth Knepp

Elizabeth Knepp or Knipp (died 1681) was a British actress, singer, and dancer. The earliest theatrical reference to Knepp is from 1664, as being intended by Thomas Killigrew to play the part of Lusetta in his play Thomaso. This means that she was probably in his troupe, the King's Company, by that time. From 1666 onwards she is recorded as playing many parts, both tragic and comic, including Lady Fidget in William Wycherley's The Country Wife. In 1664, she became the first woman to perform the title role in Jonson's Epicoene. She also occasionally spoke prologues and epilogues, and often danced and sang in or between acts.
Knepp's husband, Christopher Knepp, was a horse dealer who did not travel with her to London very often; he was reputedly "ill-natured" and may have treated her badly. Samuel Pepys was fascinated by Knepp, and his diary for 1666—68 is full of references to her, including mentions of amorous encounters, and descriptions of how much he enjoyed her flirtatiousness and especially her singing. In the late 1670s she became mistress to the actor Joseph Haines, and died in 1681 giving birth to his stillborn child.
