wrote numerous articles, and with whom she engaged in correspondence - Ensor's 1907
painting 'Portrait of Emma Lambotte' appears on the front cover of the book 'Lettres a
Emma Lambotte 1904-1914':
her portrait was also painted by Belgian artist Henry de Groux; She was married to surgeon
and patron of the arts Albin Lambotte.
Poet Albert Mockel (1866-1945) was a prominent figure in Belgian and European
Symbolism, and served as editor of the important journal of Belgian Symbolism La Wallonie
(which he founded in 1886). He wrote numerous books and articles on the Symbolist

"Everyman's Issue", quoting the Medieval play Everyman "Everyman, I
will go with thee", etc, and so-called in response to certain supposedly
obscure material in issue 2 - Christesen's editorial states "We hope
that the contents of this number will be 'more easily understood' by
Everyman"; Meanjin was founded by Clem Christesen in 1940 (in
opposition to the closing down of cultural affairs during WWII); the
first two issues were letterpress printed, but typos to issue 2 saw a
change to linotype for issue 3, which was printed by Roy Bulcock
