Arthur Conan Doyle has one of the most delightfully legible handwriting styles of any 19thC writer. The letter below is to Bram Stoker, congratulating him on the publication of Dracula. Font people! Why has no-one made this into a font yet, like the Jane Austen font? #C19th

Letter from Doyle to Bram Stoker. My dear Bram SToker, I am sure you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula. I think it is the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years etc.

The entirety of this cobalt blue #1820s evening dress features a discreet coral-like pattern, a repeat that is revealed in a shaft of light or a turn of the body. Discoveries in the natural world during the early #c19th prompted these organic motifs. Sold via #augustaauctions #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I am down to the last 1000 words of my book draft and writing about hair workers, makers in the #c19th who were skilled in the art of sentimental jewellery. They wove & braided hair as memorials to loved ones, part of mourning etiquette. Mid c19th dresses @metcostume.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Totally brilliant work on deciphering #Handwriting in #C18th & #C19th from Edinburgh Uni — bitl.to/3nYn It draws mainly from #Scottish sources, but I've relied on it for transcribing an early C19th English diary. Just look at the range of examples, and the careful detailing of differences.
