Karl von Drais invented the 'dandy horse' in 1817, the precursor to our modern #bicycle.
The spirit moving the Quakers upon worldly vanities!!
"Many quakers ride velocipedes, towards a plain building, with Society of Friends Meeting House over the door."
― 1819, George Cruikshank
Le 13 septembre 1819, il y a 200 ans, naissait une très grande dame : Clara Schumann. Femme du compositeur Robert Schumann, muse et amour de Brahms, elle fut elle-même une musicienne et une compositrice de grand talent ! Humble hommage à travers les collections de @GallicaBnF

The @ThePortico Library was there in 1819, and features in the graphic novel. They're stocking the book for a very reasonable £10 discount, so well worth a visit. Hugh Hornby Birley, who led the attack, was an early member, so there's irony to be had!

#CzCon2018 ~> #CzCon2019 Year of the Tapir. In 1812, Baron George Cuvier made what the cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans called his "Rash Dictum": he said that it was unlikely that any large animal remained undiscovered. In 1819, the Malayan Tapir was discovered. ~ @CryptoLoren
