Ooo - I've been eagerly waiting for this to emerge & it's just taken flight! "Transformations: Harriet & Helena Scott, colonial Sydney's finest natural history painters" by Vanessa Finney @newsouthbook. #SciArt @ReadingsBooks @goodreads @BioDivLibrary @bhl_au
Dare I admit I've spent the day recycling @bhl_au tweets from 2016? The historic content is still just as awesome (it's even more historic). It totally deserves a second airing! (And thx to #280characters I can now say so much more about this beautiful #SciArt ). @BioDivLibrary
Spectacular views flying into Dunedin. #ILoveNewZealand Looking forward to a weekend full of wonderful tours & adventures. #spnhctdwgNZ
I'm giving a talk tonight to the Entomological Society of Victoria - our new @bhl_au contributors - all about the wonderfulness of @BioDivLibrary. I'm replacing all my usual feathered & furred examples with creepy crawlies (which isn't hard - #BHLib is full of bugs). #entomology
I've always loved Franz Marc. It was so special to see three in the flesh today at @KunstmuseumBern, one in the fascinating "Gurlitt: Nazi Art Theft and its consequences" exhibition.
Charles Darwin: the illustrations were "executed on stone by Mrs. Gould, with that admirable success, which has attended all her works" (The zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, 1838) https://t.co/kJ6KE2RuUF via @MBLWHOILibrary (#FullTextSearch for "Mrs Gould" @BioDivLibrary)
@BioDivLibrary @museumsvictoria @CrossrefOrg @DOI_Foundation I do think old books are beautiful in their own right, but it's much easier to make audiences gasp with wonder when your slides are filled with images from/by Seba, Audubon, Merian, Gould, Scott, Shaw, Curtis, Bartholomew, Becker, etc. Sigh.
I've spent a very froggy morning finding (& tweeting about) the 1st descriptions of Australia's frogs (at @bhl_au) #lovemyjob @biodivlibrary
We have a new favourite place! It's as beautiful inside as outside! #NorthFitzroyLibrary #BargoongaNganjin #lovemylibrary @YarraLibraries
