If you're interested in the Victorian Anti Vaccination league, look at @DrSallyFrampton's ever-green @ConversationUK article (&enjoy the cartoon that comes with it, which captures the fear that humans might develop bovine features from the vaccination) 3/3

Like Victorians? Like Insects? Like Lewis Carroll? Great! I'm giving a talk "Of Wasps in Wigs and Gnatter with Gnats: How Insects made Alice in Wonderland" at @CambridgeHPS's 'Cabinet of Natural History' seminar today at 1pm! Zoom link upon request #histsci #scicomm #litsci
@irmorus1 @BioDivLibrary I mean, okay. Had Ricœur written this book, the title would extend to page four, just less intelligibly, and almost certainly without fairytalish insect engravings from which Carroll could have spun Through the Looking-Glass. Ricœur would have probably got the Watts treatment.
@MorganW_B @Hosmeriana Yes! I absolutely love it! Was just noting the similar theme to William De Morgan's tiles (which I regularly obsess over)
This. Keep your loved ones close, and may 2021 be more joyful, and bring all the good things. #GoodBye2020 #lastdayof2020
A real highlight are Henry Clifton Sorby's lantern slides: /9

Rev Robinson Duckworth was the other person present at the boat trip on the 4th of July 1862 when the tale of Alice's Adventures Under-Ground was first told. He later became Chaplain to Queen Victoria. (MSS in this post are in @britishlibrary & @TheRosenbach)
