#OTD in 1873 the working class #Lanarkshire poet Janet Hamilton died aged 78
Hamilton's family moved to the weaving village of Langloan in c1802 & she was married at 13. Much of her verse reacted to the rapid industrialisation of the area in her lifetime https://t.co/ieV9lP44Mo
Where better to look for pretty #HolidayScenery than in our Mary Beck postcard collection. Clockwise from top left we have Callander Bridge and Ben Ledi, Gareloch at Helensburgh, Luss Straits at Loch Lomond and Rothesay Harbour. Wish you were there, @ARAScot? #ArchiveHoliday
We have a dynamic golden scene for today's #OnlineArtExchange 'Turning Hay' by Millie Frood (1900-1988). #Motherwell-born Frood studied at @GSofA taught at @BellshillA & designed for the ballet
With its glowing, swirling bands this scene could almost be of a local steelworks!
We're continuing our #ExploreYourArchive #Transport theme with this image of a William Baird & Co canal barge at Townhead, Glasgow, unloading pig iron in c. 1900. A general cargo was taken on the return journey to Gartsherrie. W. Rogan of Dundyvan Road is holding the horse.
What better for #WorldArtDay than a portrait of an artist? This is Aniza McGeehan (1874-1962) painted by her sister Jessie (1872-1950).
The Airdrie-born sisters attended @GSofA together. Aniza was a sculptor and you can see a pair of maquettes beside her #OnlineArtExchange
This week's #WINTER-y #OnlineArtExchange offering is 'The Street Corner - Winter' painted in 1920 by #Kilsyth artist Alexander Gibson. It shows King Street Corner in the town https://t.co/kQiSITcWSI #snaw #snow
