You know what, I think I'll post another one. This is one of William Hodges' 18th Century depictions of Tahiti, painted while he was official artist on one of Captain Cook's expeditions. #landscape #art #Tahiti #18thCentury

Tahitian war galleys are gathered in a bay bounded by a wooded hill, with pink mountains in the distance - it is dawn or near sunset.

My author copies arrived, so I had to do a photoshoot! 3 years of hard work condensed into 378 pages 📖 'Queen Charlotte: Family, Duty, Scandal' is now available from @routledgehistory and all good booksellers! #historysky #royalhistory #18thcentury #skystorians #queencharlotte

Photograph of a woman smiling and holding a book. Background is a cream wall with panelling. The woman has brown hair and wears a purple jumper with a black skirt.

Photograph of a book, with a stack of six books behind. The book cover is a portrait painting of a woman in a wide gold and white dress, with a red curtain behind her. The book cover has blue detailing around the text: 'Queen Charlotte: Family, Duty, Scandal. Natalee Garrett.' The books rest on blue fabric and behind them is a cushion decorated with an 18th-century painting of a woman in a silver dress, with two children and a dog at her feet.

Today, thanks to the Houghton Library, I got to introduce students to an #18thcentury German peepshow showing the interior of a printing house. Take a peek! (It was hard to photograph & the photo fails to include the cat who joins the dog in the foreground as 1 of the spectators.) #BookHistory

Peep show in a small box (about the size of a large index card, showing an author in a red coat, manuscript in his hand, dog at his side surveying the workings of a print shop.)

I made an entirely original practice 1730s Anneliese cosplay. Every element of this dress, including the stays and hoops and embroidery, was stitched entirely by hand and took 336 hours to complete. (Ft Talia as Erica) #cosplay #historicalcostuming #barbie #18thcentury
