Great to see #GoogleDoodle doodle kick of #BlackHistoryMonth with Ignatius Sancho--abolitionist, composer, shopkeeper, author, and first known Briton of African descent to vote in the UK in #c18th. Lovely image by @KingsleyNebechi
Explored #libraryway near @GrandCentralNYC. Great #books quotes for bibliophiles and those who like #historyofthebook
Nearly missed getting off the train this morning, as often happens, due to reading great history. Today's book is Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia, by Christina Thompson. Great #Pacifichistory! #Polynesia #voyaging @hokuleacrew
Staying with rivers, Wolfram Dolz explains the story behind the official map series of the Elbe by the Kingdom of Saxony in #c19; more theodolites, please! #ControllingtheWaters @UniUtrechtLib
Amazing conservation tour of @StAlfegeChurch , a Hawksmoor church. Saw stone conservation and restoriation up close #NationalLotteryHeritageFund
Loved catching up with the #QueensHouse @RMGreenwich , particularly contemporary art, like ‘Ship of Fools’ by Kehinde Wiley, speaking to #c17th portraits in the same room
Ex. 3 Marian Maguire’s take on the Dance portrait, from lithograph series The Odyssey of Captain Cook, 2005
Happy birthday Olaudah Equiano! #GoogleDoodle reminded me its his 272nd!
