Bürgers Lenore = Citizen Lenore

[edit]

I believe this to be an error, as I think "Bũrgers" in this case refers to Gottfried August Bürger - that is, translated to English it would be "Bürger's Lenore" - so I'm changing it accordingly. The Oesterley illustrations can be seen here, amongst other illustrations of Bürger's ballad: [1] universalcosmos | talk 02:23, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait

[edit]

I changed the portrait that was previously attached to this article because it was very poor quality but, as it turns out, it's not even a picture of Oesterley, it's a picture of the architect Friedrich Eisenlohr, by Oesterly, so please don't improve it and put it back.
