A copperplate engraving depicting different models of the universe including the Ptolemaic model, Copernicus's heliocentric model, Tycho Brahe’s geoheliocentric, and Descartes Système des Tourbillons (center). From my copy of a 1761 French textbook by Lenglet Du Fresnoy. 📚💙

A book opened to a still bound fold out diagram with two solar system models on the left and two on the right and a central diagram with Descartes'
vortices. The descriptions are in French and it's labeled LES SYSTÊME DU MONDE at the top.

#AITA— OP: We're going to elope to Las Vegas next year with 20 friends. Respondents: We're cross about the mis-use of "elopement" & the general degradation of #language. It's a symptom of something. Voice of Common Sense: It *can't* be an elopement if there isn't a ladder. #C18th #C19th

The Elopement of Bessie Surteens and John Scott (later Lord Eldon).
Etching from original painting by Wilson Hepple.
From https://hauntedpalaceblog.com/2024/05/31/rags-to-riches-the-elopement-of-bessie-surtees-and-john-scott-a-newcastle-love-story/

A couple in C18th dress are rushing away from a ladder that leads to a townhouse's first floor (2nd floor for USA) window. In the background a carriage is waiting, presumably to carry the couple to Gretna Green. A man on the left of the picture is gesturing at or to them.

Journey to Manchester by train begins. Looking forward to addressing the University of Manchester’s ‘Queer 18th & 19th century Research Network’. I’ll be speaking about queer/crip bodies in life writing, satire and the sentimental novel #Crip #18thcentury #memoir

Large Worcester dish in the pinecone pattern (c1770) #c18th #c18 #18thc

Oval dish with edges that rise to crests topped with scallop shells at each end and halfway down each side, decorated with butterflies and sprigs of flowers surrounding a larger central arrangement of flowers and pinecones, all in classic dark Worcester blue on a white ground. Exterior plain. Used as a serving dish, probably for fruit - I'm picturing (and planning) a pyramid of oranges or pears or candied plums ...

A photograph of a small book with Jane Austen’s signature on the top of the page. Below her name there are the numbers 1797.
