The west towers of York Minster. The south west tower, on the left, holds the cathedral bells and was finished first in 1445. It was badly damaged by fire in May 1840. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #ArtShare

Two towers rise above the western part of York Minster. The towers have pinnacles above parapets and tall windows in each visible wall. In the foreground is a row flying buttresses supporting the wall, positioned between large windows with tracery.

I got too used to working with efficient archives in the UK (and my favourite archivist too), so now I tried to book a couple of paleography workshops and these guys... yikes. 😬

It's #MementoMoriMonday! Here's a silver watch in the form of a human skull, c. 1660. The watch is inscribed with: vita fugitur (life is fleeting), aesterna respice (look down upon a fallen thing), caduca despice (look upon eternity), incertita hora (death/hour is uncertain)

A silver skull with engravings on the top.

The top of the skull is open to reveal a clock inside.

Nothing says "notice me" like the kitten randomly nestling to sleep near your back, and then randomly putting a paw on your back and almost murdering you from fright... Reader, it was just me, the cat, and the two dogs here. I almost jumped out of my skin. 🙃

St Laurence Church, Ludlow Shropshire. In 1540, John Leland described the church as “very Fayre and large and richly adorned and taken for the Fayrest in all these parts”. This sentiment still holds true as you can see by the crossing. If you've not been, it's well worth the trip. #medievalmonday

Looking up at the crossing of St Laurence Church. The 4 arches of perpendicular style frame the central square. This itself has a vaulted ceiling.

On this day in 1840, Anne Lister died at Koutais, in Georgia, aged 49. For today's anniversary we've made her a Victorian mourning card with the maxim she loved best, borrowed from Edward Young's Night-Thoughts: "For human weal, Heaven husbands all events."

Gotta give it to Sir Meow: it took him a good hour of playing and distracting me until he eventually gave up, nestled somewhere in the shadows, and quieted down. The dogs were snoozing too, so for a good two hours or so, I finally got to work on my research in peace! 🙌

#TheVictorianBookoftheDead Gothic spires and angels frame a memorial card for Walter Minney, aged 3 years and 2 months, 1876. In the lower right corner, a weeping mourner kneels by a tiny grave. The use of color to highlight the embossed details is extremely unusual.

Memorial card with a black border framed by embossed Gothic spires in ivory and pale green. Other details include an urn in a draped oval, cross-topped frame, foliage, and angels. A mourner kneels at the foot of one of the angels by a tiny grave. Text reads: In Affectionate Remembrance of Walter Minney,
The Beloved Son of Benjamin & Louisa Minney,
Who died July the 14th, 1876,
Aged 3 years and 2 months.
Dear as thou wert, and justly dear,
We will not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tear:
It is that thou are free.
