Her chosen verse reads: “This work in hand my friend will have when I am dead and in my grave. Lord grant that in faith I die and live with Christ eternally.”

Somber words for a child, but a reminder of how faith and mortality were woven into everyday Victorian life.

Lucia Moholy-Nagy took a lot of glass plate photos of the Bauhaus. When they had to get out she left them in the basement of Gropius' house and thought them lost. Later when Gropius wrote about the Bauhaus he illustrated his work with her photos which he had appropriated.
