Beautifully dramatic lighting effect in this altar depicting the god Sol found near Edinburgh. In the low light of the temple, worshippers would see Sol’s eyes, mouth and the rays of his solar crown glowing. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Carving of the sun god Sol that would have been illuminated from behind so that in the low light of the temple, worshippers would have seen his eyes, mouth and the rays of his solar crown glowing.

It’s the 136th anniversary today of some highly prized artefacts from Ancient Egypt being auctioned in Liverpool. From there, the 180,000 mummified cats in question went to their splendid and dignified final resting place. A museum? No. They were ground up and used for fertiliser 🧵

A row of five mummified cats in the British Museum. Each one is standing on a small square plinth, and essentially resembles a long tube wrapped in strips of (presumably) papyrus, in a variety of patterns, and with a carved (wooden?) cat’s head at the top.

The Spirit from February 5, 1950. Art by Will Eisner & Jerry Grandenetti, with letters by Abe Kanegson.

The page is made up of three panels, all taking place in a graveyard at night. The first shows a flashlight shining on a body that's lying in front of a tombstone, which reads "Here Lies Denny." The last name is obscured but it's probably "Colt," which is the name of the Spirit. The next panel shows a blue glove on the ground. The final panel shows three cops and Commissioner Dolan discussing the case. Their faces are all in shadow, and between the blue glove and the blue mask the victim was clutching, they realize that their prime suspect is the Spirit. Dolan reluctantly tells them to send out a citywide alarm to capture him.

George Douglas Brown (1869–1902) was born #OTD, 26 January – best known for his 1901 novel THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS: “…the TRAINSPOTTING of its day… an angry young man’s response to the misrepresentation of contemporary Scottish life” A 🎂 🧵 💙📚 1/7 list.co.uk/news/39535/g...

Book cover

THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS

Cover image: A small window in a pale cream-coloured wall, with green shutters. One is half open, but we can only see darkness inside. In the foreground, a red-headed postman in a blue uniform, his eyes and mouth wide open in shock and horror, whirls away from the window, his body twisting as he turns and flees from what he has seen within.

From my mum's family photos. The man on the right is wearing a full dress Gendarme uniform. Who took it and what the occasion was is an enigma - which is why I like it.

A black and white photo of a youngish man in a heavy suit, bow tie, and spectacles talking to a far more swishy chap in a French Gendarme's uniform. Probably 1930s.
