Stew Peters To just take one example from the video / '93 Columbian Expo ... I collect old books (mostly 19thC) and can tell you there is plenty of REAL history there about design/building tech, etc, etc, etc. Just take the time. 🙂 google.com/search?q=colum…

🧵Ever wondered where the phrase “slap-up meal” originated? It's generally reserved to describe a large, hearty meal. However, in the early 19thC, it was also known as a “slap-bang meal” & was used by Charles Dickens. Exact origin is unclear but here’s the likely explanation: 1/4

It’s always fascinating to hear 19thC recordings. This is Florence Nightingale in a recording made in 1890, when she was seventy (she lived until the age of 90). The recording is exhibited at the wonderful Florence Nightingale Museum in London #florencenightingale #florencemuseum

#Tarradale2024 Day 3. Good news: in our second trench we appear to have the wall of a building, probably a farm building shown on the 1788 map. Bad news: in our main trench we have failed to locate the distillery despite some Herculean shifting of material; just a few 19thC finds

Painted decoration 19thc of a medieval chapel; Gloucester cathedral

Tidying 19thc #watercolours and this child's face stares back at me through the years. It's harvest time c.1870 and she's not playing at this.

Amazed that some excellent 19thC artists are now so unloved, when their work is as good - often better - than artists still doing well. Five works by William James Muller (1812-1845) just sold Cheffins Fine Art for c £390 inc - this one alone would be a highlight in any collection

Zionism is a concept based on discredited 19thC race science. It's time it went the way of history. It has no place in the 21st Century

The picturesque cottage near Dorchester where novelist Thomas Hardy was born &spent much of his life. It was built by his grandfather at the start of the 19thC, with the extension (visible in the different thatched roof heights) an annex for his grandmother during his childhood

(Some) blue skies over Mary Anning in Lyme Regis this morning, which was a definite improvement on yesterday! I love this statue of the great 19thC fossil hunter and palaeontologist, who did not really get the recognition she deserved in her lifetime #maryanning #lymeregis …

'At the birth of British democracy, back in the 19thC, grassroots oracy education played a key role - the struggle for articulacy underpinned the struggle for the vote': my conversation on behalf of @OracyCommission with Tom F Wright of Speaking Citizens buff.ly/3yrscWg

I'm a traditional painter and had some fun with this today using a 19thC reference in black and white. #Oilpainting #traditionalart #portrait

Excellent #anthotype workshop led by Nettie Edwards 🇪🇺 supported by Trinity Buoy Wharf and The National Lottery Heritage Fund full house, creating light reactive emulsion from mint leaves, using pages from 19thC #illustratedlondonnews
