If you’re in need of some inspiration for what to wear on those winter walks, we have just the thing, courtesy of ‘La Belle Assemblee No. 38’ magazine, 1808. 👠

This sombre 'Winter Scene' of a dead robin by Anna Maria Stannard from around 1891 would have been quite at home on a Victorian Christmas card. 🎄

Instead of the jolly scenes we use today, dead birds were a common feature and may have been a symbol of good luck!

The Norfolk Chronicle reported: “the scene witnessed in the interior of the Keep had, perhaps, never been equalled in brilliancy since the days when within its walls Norman barons sat in state.” The menu for the occasion included cold partridge, marinaded eel and pickled tongue!

Step out in style with these September fashions, perfect for the woman about town. Don’t forget your bonnet – it'll keep your ears warm and protect you from those pesky falling leaves and spiders! 🕷️

These charming ‘Fashions for September’ date from 1836.

In July 1821 Horatio, 10th Baron Robert Walpole of Wolterton attended the coronation of King George IV in this flashy little number. He wasn't trying to outshine the King: the Tudor-inspired outfits were apparently chosen by George himself!

Today is #IrisDay! In Greek mythology, Iris is the goddess of the rainbow. The name is used for these flowers because of its many different colour varieties.
‘View of Norwich from Mousehold with Castle in the distance and rainbow’ was painted by Charles Catton (1728-1798).

Aged nine, the Claridge Gallery hosted her first solo ‘retrospective’. The reception was overwhelmingly positive, and Somerville was declared a ‘child genius’ internationally. Every single one of her one hundred paintings in the show sold in a matter of days.
