Open Quo Fuit to see these 8 presences on the
globe, filter them by date, and follow the journey year by year.
In each of these, a source puts Alfred Sisley and the place in the same dated sentence without stating
that Alfred Sisley was there. They are kept apart from the timeline above for exactly that reason:
a mention is not a presence, and Quo Fuit does not quietly promote one into the other.
1881year
Great Britainmentioned“Unlike Monet, he never sought the drama of the rampaging ocean or the brilliantly colored scenery of the Côte d'Azur." In 1881, Sisley made a second brief voyage to Great Britain.”source: Wikipedia: Alfred Sisley
1897year
Walesmentioned“In 1897, Sisley and his partner visited Britain again and finally were married in Wales at Cardiff Register Office on 5 August.”source: Wikipedia: Alfred Sisley
Two people documented in the same place in the same year is a correlation, not a meeting.
Quo Fuit will never say they met without a source that says so.
How to read this page
Every line above is a dated fact taken from a source, with the sentence it came from and a link
back to it. Nothing is inferred, and a gap in the record is not evidence that someone was elsewhere.
A tag says how the fact is carried by its source: documented a structured,
explicitly dated record, attested a sentence that states the person was there,
mentioned a sentence that ties the person to the place without stating presence.
