Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪

A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

Personally offended nay disgusted by an article in the local paper about a band who were formed *this century* celebrating their 25th anniversary. A grotesque demonstration of 'the passage of time' or some shit.

13 Monsters Good And True I think there are so many genuine monsters in the world that I am consoling myself by drawing little monsters who are good.

Drawing of 13 little 'monsters', rather cute little critters who wouldn't harm a fly, in fact they'd probably give it a bowl of milk and a tiny bed for the night.

I had a dream last night that @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social showed me a large papier-maché cow he‘d made. It was based on the one in this picture. It was a bit of an odd shape because it was foreshortened to match the pic. It was in a cardboard box and orange cat Jim was asleep on its back. #cowinabox

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

@lynnnothegger.bsky.social a German question for you - Duolingo taught me ‘Quittung’ for receipt yesterday but it already told me ‘Kassenbon’ is receipt - what’s the difference? Is Kassenbon ‘till receipt’ i.e. a shop thing?

Saw this in an antiques shop earlier. Apparently Royal Doulton did various plates etc. in a Bazzy Tap (thanks to @florencehrscott.bsky.social for that abbreviation) style in the early 20th century.

A ‘baby’s plate’ with a scene from the Bayeaux Tapestry on it. Martial!

I love 'Must Have Ideas' (they sell cleaning stuff and the like) because their emails always have the best subject lines. Always really perky, amusingly personalised, asking a question to which the answer is 'not really?' Just had one: 'Still struggling with old-fashioned tin openers Jackie?'

Could any Victorianists point me to a source for the 1850s postal system, specifically what the procedure was for letters addressed to a business that wished to keep its actual address private? Was there a PO Box system? Did the business just collect their letters from the local post office?

Just got an email claiming to be from an agency in NYC. It's a real agency but I bet their agents a) capitalise their own names consistently b) have an agency email address c) don't call themselves a different name in the body of the email d) would use my name rather than calling me 'Dear Author'.

I'm watching Reacher, finally. Isn't it funny how some people are so perfect for their roles you don't really think of them as actors? I'm not talking about Alan Ritchson, (although, yes, OK). I'm talking about Guillermo from What We Do In The Shadows. He's the medical examiner. Harvey Guillén.

One of my friends works for Wisden, you know, the cricketers' almanac. He just posted a pic of him and some colleagues at Brompton Cemetery at the weekend, standing by John Wisden's grave for for the 200th anniversary of his birth. I don't really care about cricket but it's incredibly charming.

For some reason one of my Insta posts (standard - memento mori grave marker) is proving very popular with a bunch of accounts that purport to be busty young ladies who only post pictures of themselves. Are they approving the concept that one should remember death comes to us all? Or are they bots. 🤨
