@tealcartoons.bsky.social my 10 year old is attempting to imitate your art style from Plague Busters. By drawing in his copy of it.

Why do black dogs look like dogs, but black cats look like the void in reality where a cat has been removed?

Great use of peacock feathers to create more biblically accurate angels.

Entirely unintentional disaster stop in the Jura, which happens to be the most Studio Ghibli place I’ve ever been.

Some (I think Templar?) effigies with the faces removed in Laon cathedral.

Quick trip to Laon to see the fantastic gothic cathedral and 12th C Templar chapel.

I suppose it’s one way to organise a library, but not super usable unless you happen to know the colour of the cover of the book you are looking for.

Verne High Angle Battery and the most hilariously succinct map of the Napoleonic Wars ever.

So much fun at Dorset Medieval Archery this afternoon. I really recommend it to any medievalists out there. We got to shoot a knight. Pulling arrows out of a wooden shield is quite hard and a helmet even harder 😂.

Some other highlights - Noah’s arc, pilgrim tokens, St James as a pilgrim and a very early record of goldsmiths marks.

On the subject of Notre Dame - the reopened Cathedral is beautiful.

I particularly like these heads of Judean kings dating from 1220 and found in Notre Dame during a renovation (not the recent one). You can see that they were originally painted and would have looked rather real!

Having spent the afternoon at the Musée de Cluny I wanted to post something thoughtful about each picture, but I’m too tired so I’m going to photo-dump instead!

Sad day in Dorchester yesterday when the house Thomas Hardy trained as an architect in burned down. It was still burning when I went over there at 2pm, 10 hours after the fire started.
