TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE has a COVER👀 (this is a late C16 embroidered coif - never in fact assembled - in the V&A. All the crazy scale with added big cats, like an acid trip As You Like It. I love that it is a bit stained and messy.) global.oup.com/academic/pro...

The cover of a book. Text reads Textile Shakespeare. The lower part of the image is embroidery, black on white, with flowers, fruit, insects, and animals. it is discoloured with age.

Also, one of my favourite things in the whole collection a ceiling board from Hampton Court covered in wallpaper from the late 1500s. One of the earliest surviving wallpapers in the world.

I’m working on an exhibition which really is outside my comfort zone. I don’t feel expert enough for any of it. Then I remember I am a curator and not an historian and so I trust the story the objects are telling me.

"My thesis supervisor Jürgen Habermas has told me recently he would not have succeeded in today's academia. He has never applied for a grant in his life and he writes long books" - Patrizia Nanz, President of the European University Institute, in a speech today

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.
