Nice to see a Scottish sampler - wonder how many earlier ones there are??

OTD, 2 April 1599, Esther Inglis finished dedicating a copy of Les CL Pseaumes de David to Prince Maurice of Nassau, Protestant leader in the Netherlands. Esther embroidered the binding. See the excellent article by Anneke Bakker in Quaerendo, 2018. @FolgerLibrary #Psalms

1 Avril 1601 Esther Inglis finishes her dedication of Les Proverbes du Roi Salomon for Henri, duc de Rohan, which her husband will deliver in France. This is one of her stunning black-and-white manuscripts. See it at: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv… @laBnF @EstherInglis24
Esther Inglis sometimes suggests to her recipients that they keep her little manuscript in a hidden, or small, or secret, corner of their cabinet.

A wonderful tribute to the memory of Laetitia Yeandle, 1930-2024. I only met her in person once, but got to know her the way you do when you work closely with collections someone else shaped and cared for over many years. She was an incredible person. folger.edu/blogs/collatio…

“This poem gets, via the heart of all theatre, to the heart of the communal in all the arts, & to the heart of form, the heart of voice & silence & to the heart of a kind of life that will never actually stop” —Ali Smith Edwin Morgan, “Instructions to an Actor” #ShakespeareDay
A treat to self for #ShakespeareDay and excited to read this when the streets and squares of Bloomsbury has become such a regular part of my working week. 📚📖
“A thousand hearts are great within my bosom. Advance our standards, set upon our foes Our ancient word of courage. Fair Saint George, Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons! Upon them! Victory sits on our helms”. (#Shakespeare, Richard III) Happy #StGeorgesDay
I'm so lucky to do what I do! Spent time a few weeks ago with a pair of early 17th-century gloves at @Witney_Antiques. I got so excited I only remembered to photograph one, but both are in brilliant condition! The embroidery, bobbin lace, & salmon pink silk survive in great shape
Finally got to see Agnes Campbell, Lady Dunnyveg's signature irl. Letter to Glenorchy chiding him for not sending an answer to an earlier discussion 'betwix yow and your Laday and me'. Transcribed by the ever supportive Jane Dawson (Campbell Letters) #ScottishWomenLetterWriters

One of the things that impresses me about this embroidery is how it creates a sense of depth. Lucretia, in the midst of her violent act, really looks as if she's in a recess. The use of mica flakes as window panes is common, but using it as floor tiles is much more unusual
In this detail from a 1630s-40s embroidery we see Lucretia, an ancient Roman noblewoman who stabs herself. Depictions of Lucretia were common in the early modern world. Silk and metal threads are joined by mica sheets used as window panes and in floor tiles
Floral still life, 1662, by Dirck van Rijswijck, black marble and mother-of-pearl (Met Museum) Trained as a goldsmith, Van Rijswijck was celebrated for his inlaywork of mother-of-pearl creating still-life pictures & several tabletops. Amazing handiwork.

Me and the missus 28 years on, two kids, house moves, aging parents, bereavements, pretty much all the challenges! But lots of good fortune and luck too #LesbianVisibilityWeek

@OldEdinClub @oculusaye Edinburgh City Archives has the building account for the Parliament House, which mentions plastering the walls, gilding the ceiling knops, and a "footgang" in the floor of hall which may be relevant to the raised seating
If you only ever visit the Early Modern Female Book Ownership website once, now is the time. Read the eight posts we now have on Katherine Blount’s amazing collections. The evolution of scholarly debate since the first post in 2020 is why the website is so brilliant #HerBook
