Dandelion, from Rembert Dodoens’s herbal, translated into English by Henry Lyte (1578). CCA.47.196 @theUL #InternationalDayoftheDandelion

This week we celebrated with our amazing colleague @RM_Rowe who retired as Royal Commonwealth Society Librarian @theUL and Librarian at @CSASCambridge after 22 years of inspiring librarianship. Rachel put people at the heart of everything she did and we will miss her enormously.

The Map Department’s postcard collection brings me to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Here I enjoy the city's fine waterfront and I am again confronted with the reality that much of what I see here was lost during WW2 and subsequently revitalised after the war. @_BRICMICS #postcard

The young man in this staff photo is Robert George Pilgrim, who worked @theUL old and new from 1921-56 - from ‘library boy’ to Superintendent of the Anderson Room (Special Colls reading room). He also took amazing photos of the new @theUL going up. #Archive30 #ArchivePeople

Vesuvius erupted #OTD in 1906, devastating #Naples. Among the many non-book items @theUL are these fragments of wall paintings, thought to be from #Pompeii. They live in the Lewis Cabinet of MSS & curiosities, given to us in 1727. Learn more @CamDigLib https://t.co/hSxu2vkTgi

My day with the postcard collection ends in California, where I view the residence of Luther Burbank, a pioneer in agricultural science. From there I visit San Bernardino, where an arrowhead shape measuring 1,375 x 449 feet rests upon the mountainside. #Maps @_BRICMICS #postcard

Thanks, @yngershon, we agree! Did you spot the #minion hiding in the corner? 🤣 https://t.co/B9pVmuyqXl

The Map Department’s postcard collection takes me on a trip through Norway. It begins in Trondheim the capital of Norway in the Viking Age. From here I continue to Hammerfest before sailing from Cape Nordkinn, the northernmost point of mainland Europe. #Maps @_BRICMICS #postcard
