Although not normally considered the most glamorous of Mother Nature’s offerings, #algae has found itself at the heart of many a key moment in the last few hundred years of botanical science. @TheRoyalFig explores... buff.ly/3Bi0rLX
One of many wonderful full-page watercolour illustrations in a 16th-century edition of Pedanius Dioscorides’s work on herbal medicine, De Materia Medica (ca. 80 AD). More here: buff.ly/3vIubPW
Born #onthisday in 1759, the radical philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. While best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, her last book was a fictionalised account of a journey she took to Scandinavia in search of stolen treasure. Read it here buff.ly/3tsg9l8 #OTD
The Continuous Bath. Illustration from Practical Hydrotherapy: A Manual for Students and Practitioners (1909) by Dr Curran Pope. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/pra…
Bob’s Electrical Theatre (1906) — Early animation by pioneering Spanish film director Segundo Chomón, in which puppets get up to various routines, including wrestling, fencing, and what appears to be a short bout of bum smacking. The full 4 minutes here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/bob…
#OnThisDay in 1785, John James Audubon was born on the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) on his father's sugarcane plantation. @chrisirmscher explores the great American icon's complex relationship to his Haitian roots: buff.ly/3aEAQSN #otd
Front cover to a collection of macabre stories by the enigmatic Count Eric Stenbock, published a year before his death #onthisday in 1895. More on this Decadent figure par excellence in our essay by David Tibet: buff.ly/2poK0uw
Caw! Caw! or The Chronicle of Crows (ca. 1848) - A story of a group of crows attacked by a farmer, beautifully illustrated by the Scottish artist Jemima Blackburn: bit.ly/1JT1yQM
To create convincing facsimiles of drawings in the early modern era required a challenging technical feat: translating drawings into print. Our latest post explores the 18th-century aquatints of Maria Catharina Prestel: publicdomainreview.org/collection/mar…
Watercolour illustrations from Mary Gartside’s An Essay on a New Theory of Colours (1808). Hand-made and unique to each volume, the images have been deemed some of the earlier examples of abstraction in painting. More in our latest post on the site — publicdomainreview.org/collection/gar…
Happy #WorldPenguinDay! Images here from Frederick Cook’s Through the First Antarctic Night, 1898–1899, a remarkable journal recounting the highs and (many) lows of the Belgica expedition, including experiencing a night two months long: buff.ly/3aD9YQ0
“My readers must fancy themselves spirits, capable of living in a medium different from our atmosphere, and so pass with me through a wonderful brazen tunnel, with crystal doors at the entrance.“ From Agnes Catlow’s Drops of Water (1851). More here: publicdomainreview.org/collections/ag…
Menu for the 1874 Anniversary Dinner of the UK Palaeontographical Society. Featuring "Sheeps' Brains à la Numa", "Consommé of Trout à la Buckland" (served with "Thick Kangaroo Tail"), "Saddle (Croupe) of Wild Boar à la Danoise, pickled in Beer", and "Gateau Palæontrographie".
From 1903 to 1907 Augustus Jansson produced more than 30 striking adverts for the Queen City Printing Ink Company, including the wonderful Ink Beasts Parade series, with its "Magenta Ponies" and "Orange-Yellow Ibexiaticus". More here: publicdomainreview.org/collections/au…
#OnThisDay in 1731, Daniel Defoe passed away due to "lethargy". J. H. Pearl looks at the power of utopias, particularly in Defoe's Crusoe novels, to disrupt our surrender to orthodoxy: buff.ly/32HDdQa #otd
Dentologia (1833) — A sprawling eighty-page poem all about teeth, written by an eminent dentist, with an additional fifty pages of endnotes: publicdomainreview.org/collection/den…
Looking at times like some kind of strange fusion of De Stijl abstraction and Tetris, behold the enigmatic "color analysis" charts of Emily Noyes Vanderpoel from her 1901 book Color Problems: A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color. More here: buff.ly/2Uzv7J2
More than a century before the mobile phone, a #Victorian love poem using #textspeak. See two even earlier examples here: publicdomainreview.org/collections/ni…
“As if an angel dropped down from the clouds”, William Blake's 1809 illustration to Henry IV by a certain William Shakespeare whose birthday is celebrated #onthisday in 1564 (also his death day in 1616). See our collection of art inspired by his plays: buff.ly/2IBS2YF
Were Jefferson, Franklin, and co, among the first to push the idea of man-made climate change? Raphael Calel explores how, in contrast to today's association of the U.S. with climate change skepticism, it was a very different story in the 18th century: bit.ly/1bLPXYI
