If you are looking for a mystery set in a version of 18th-century London characterized by powdered wigs, creepy collections, covert occultists, and earnest gardeners trying to convince the gentry to eat more raw vegetables, I humbly put before you The Cabinets of Barnaby Mayne.

'The beetles here figured are of their natural bigness.'

Published in 1750s, this is the work of celebrated natural history illustrator George Edwards, who often drew from life. These specimens were supplied by his friend Dr Matthew Lee.

It's a lovely morning in Durham and here's an angry long-necked goose.

(no, we don't know why he's angry either - he's a goose)

@malexfrances Yes! Even on architecture and costume I found texts often skipped from 1650ish to full Georgian leaving a gap in the middle. And that early 1700s gap is SO FULL of crazy details. How awesome that you studied it. I raise my glass (Bruichladdich Port Charlotte) to you from afar!

Thanks @MariahFrederick for reminding me that I'm living in a fun imagination space right now. 5 things in my work in progress:

- an ancient library
- night incarnate
- a worn paperback novel
- a detective (of course)
- a pub (...also of course)

Anne Kingsbury Wollstonecraft, sister-in-law of Mary and aunt of author Mary Shelly, was a botanist, naturalist, botanical illustrator, and women's rights advocate. Her manuscript on plant specimens (1828) was rediscovered recently #womensart

@meriania These six emojis are one of my favorite reviews. 😃 Of course, it makes it even better that it comes from a collector-botanist-explorer herself. Thank you!
