In the land of fairy tale, helpers are often small. With the Brothers Grimm collecting tales, in 1812 they gave us Snow White & her friends, the tiny dwarves. Whether inspired by Ovid, Basile, or the true story of a German C16th countess, their tale endures🍎🖤#FairyTaleTuesday

Advent no17 is the history of the Christmas tree

Germany is credited with starting the Xmas tree tradition in the C16th when Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. It is believed that Martin Luther, the C16th Protestant reformer added lighted candles to a tree.

Leonardo’s drawings ranged across many subjects, but they were divided in the C16th. The Royal Collection is strong in anatomy, botany, maps, horses & studies for paintings. We have few of his inventions in engineering, which are now mostly in Milan.
