I found an interesting bit of ephemera in my dad's stuff, a recipe book from 1874. Trigger alert for animal lovers...
People were different in the 1800s.

this is the penny farthing. No, not the coin, the bicycle. You know the one the one that's made famous by the silhouette, drawing of a bicycle with a huge front wheel and a tiny back wheel, and a man in a suit, sitting a top it wearing a bowler hat.

When Albert Bierstadt painted Rocky Mountain Landscape in 1870, he had not seen the Rockies for seven years. He worked from studies made in 1863, during his second trip to the West. In Rocky Mountain Landscape the shopworn adjectives "spellbinding" and "breathtaking" regain their identity, conveying the awestruck wonder the artist induces in the viewer.

April 26 - the birthday of Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) - a French Romantic artist regarded from the outset of his career as the leader of the French Romantic school. In the words of Baudelaire, "Delacroix was passionately in love with passion, but coldly determined to express passion as clearly as possible."

April 23 - the birthday of Joseph Mallord William Turner - English Romantic painter, printmaker, and watercolorist. He is known for his expressive coloring, imaginative landscapes, and turbulent, often violent marine paintings. He was championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivaling history painting.

I was in tears doing this wks . CW alcohol abuse. Janie sounds absolutely desperate + pours out her heart to Fred who's a 100 miles away in . Fred later speculates that the reason Emma is being so cruel to Janie is because she is 'a little envious'. I'd go so far to say she's absolutely green w envy. It seems so very unfair.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together. Link: mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsp (you should prob unfollow me if you don't want me bleating on about the pod).

There was a moment in the middle of the nineteenth century which was the midnight of artistic instinct, just as there was a moment about the middle of the ninth century which was the midnight of law and organization. It was blackest in a commercial country like England, which was only saved by treating itself as comic because it could not treat itself as dignified.
-- G K Chesterton
