1876, the Court Circular reported that the Prince of Wales, on his trip round admired the famous Golden Temple at Amritsar, but hadn't taken off his shoes and gone in because that was "inexpedient"—what a shame! (Illus. by Mortimer Menpes) https://t.co/kbmPKErR1p

Ornamental bookplates were ideal accompaniments to those handsomely bound, special-occasion Victorian gift-books: this one, for a book entitled "Wayside Posies," is designed so that you lift the flowers to see, in tiny print, "Wish for the Year" https://t.co/HkWPMXR5Ff

"In Peril (The Harbour Flare)" by Atkinson Grimshaw. His moonlit scenes can be hauntingly beautiful, but the red flare here means a ship is in danger in the stormy sea, and people are running to look ("In Peril" may come from the hymn, "Eternal Father") https://t.co/8Ehl8dTuKR

"Now Is the Pilgrim Year Fair Autumn's Charge" by John Liston Byam Shaw (1872-1919), exhibited 1904. Sunny here today, hopefully a time to enjoy the rich colours of Autumn! https://t.co/LxKfXqh1kk

1854, the Charge of Scarlett's 300 or Heavy Brigade at Balaclava. Such a dreadful event for men and horses, but a brilliantly dynamic evocation of it (after Stanley Berkeley, c.1890). Thanks . https://t.co/uoWdPlLfr0

Intrigued to see the subject of this 1870s watercolour, The Skater, by E. J. Gregory, described as "#Tissot-esque"! Something in the pose, ?
