Eglantyne Jebb--horrified by the suffering of children after #WWI --founded Save the Children in 1919. She authored the 1924 Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which later became the basis for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. She was born #OTD in 1876. #HistSky ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ #Humanity
An elegant, profile-view historical photograph of Eglantyne Jebb (1876โ€“1928), the pioneering British social reformer and founder of Save the Children. Seated indoors, she is shown from the chest up, facing left toward a window while working at a desk. Her light-colored hair is styled neatly in a soft bun away from her face, revealing her thoughtful expression, gentle smile, and downcast gaze. She wears a dark long-sleeved dress or blouse accented by a prominent, delicate white lace collar. In the bottom-left corner, her hand holds a thin pen or stylus over her unseen paperwork, symbolizing her authorship of the landmark 1924 Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The moody, high-contrast black-and-white composition blends her soft profile into a deep, shadowy background where a wooden chair is faintly visible. Natural light streams in from the window, casting a bright glow on her face and head. The contemplative atmosphere honors her enduring legacy in global humanitarian advocacy.

#OTD in 1916, Augusta & Adeline Van Buren completed their 5500-mi, 60-day trek across the US on motorcycles. Why? They wanted to prove women could serve as military dispatch riders. While it was a "no" in #WWI, British & US militaries actively recruited women for military dispatch riders in #WWII.
A black-and-white photo montage of Augusta Van Buren (1884โ€“1959) and Adeline Van Buren (1889โ€“1949), celebrated for their historic 1916 cross-country motorcycle expedition. The upper half features two side-by-side close-up portraits. On the left, Augusta tilts her head back, smiling brightly with a joyful expression, wearing a leather riding jacket and an aviator-style leather helmet fitted with large goggles pushed up on her forehead. On the right, Adeline smiles warmly directly at the camera, similarly clad in a rugged leather jacket and a streamlined leather pilot's cap. The larger lower image captures a wide shot of both sisters paused along a dirt road during their trek. They sit astride their fully packed Indian Powerplus motorcycles, which are laden with canvas gear bags, including one clearly stenciled with "COAST TO". They wear heavy, utilitarian riding suits with breeches and tall boots. They are positioned on a high vantage point overlooking a rolling, rural valley with a winding path and sparse trees under bright daylight. The composition beautifully pairs their personal, triumphant expressions with the gritty, vast reality of their journey, evoking an adventurous, barrier-breaking mood of immense historical significance.

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in #WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he constructed from ammunition cases. Learn more about this in my book THE FACEMAKER: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
An old wooden box that is painted blue grey. On it is a Red Cross with letters reading: "Blood Transfusion Set."

The Saumur tank museum's Schneider CA 1, the last example of the type still in working order. It's on its way to the Camp de Mourmelon, where the 501e RCC is holding a commemoration of the 110th anniversary of the tank's baptism of fire on 23 September. #WWI #WW1 #MilitaryHistory #France #Tank

Rachel Parsons was born #OTD in 1885 + 1 of the first 3 women to study Mechanical Sciences at Cambridge (women were ineligible for degrees) + Co-founder/1st president, Women's Engineering Society + Directed #engineering firm during #WWI, training women to make munitions #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white vintage portrait photograph of Rachel Mary Parsons (1885โ€“1956), the pioneering British engineer, founding President of the Women's Engineering Society (1919), advocate for women's rights in engineering and employment, and one of the first women to study mechanical sciences at Cambridge University (Newnham College). She is shown in a formal head-and-shoulders studio portrait against a soft, neutral background, gazing directly at the camera with a composed, dignified expression. Parsons wears a distinctive cloche-style hat (popular in the 1920s) made of textured fabric, pulled low over her short bobbed hair, with a sheer veil or netting draped elegantly around it. She is dressed in a sophisticated outfit featuring a dark coat or dress with a wide white or light-colored collar and lapels, accessorized with a long strand of pearls around her neck. The early 20th-century photographic style, with soft lighting and subtle grain, captures her as a trailblazing figure in engineering and feminism during the interwar period. #RachelParsons #WomenInEngineering

Composite image featuring a black-and-white portrait of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman, an older woman with short, wavy white hair, expressive eyes, and a thoughtful expression, wearing a dark blouse with a bow at the neck. To the right are two book covers: "The Guns of August" by Barbara W. Tuchman (showing a dramatic wartime scene with silhouetted soldiers and smoke against a gray background, labeled as a Pulitzer Prize winner) and "Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45" (depicting a red-toned background and black-and-white photograph of General Joseph Stilwell in military uniform in the lower right corner, also noted as a Pulitzer Prize winner). The layout places the Tuchman's portrait on the left with the two book covers stacked on the right.
