@GovernorVA Just drove by a construction site next to a 25-year private residential community. #BelmontCountryClub Thought it was new homes. Nope, two more massive data centers. Land near where I live is worth $4.4M per acre! #TheRegency

A slightly balding man subjects himself to a Macassar Oil treatment, to restore his thinning locks. (Seems to have worked a treat for the woman though !) #ThomasRowlandson #TheRegency #Satire

James Gillray revelled in lampooning the English Regents’, and their French counterparts’, antics and fashions. “Les Invisibles”, 1810, is a particularly fine example of this — based on an anonymous French etching. #FashionableVerse #TheRegency

I once attended a lecture given by a practising Surgeon, who said that during the Regency years (1811-1820) if you had a limb amputated you were more likely to die of an infection from the sutures than from the operation itself. #MedicalHistory #TheRegency #ThomasRowlandson

You can tell a lot about a society by how it chooses to entertain itself. Setting animals to fight is a side of the Regency that I don’t like, or approve of, but (as a researcher of the period) I can’t ignore its existence. #TheRegency #LondonHistory

You won’t be surprised to read that sweeping chimneys was an onerous and often lethal activity for young boys and (sometimes) girls of the Regency Era. But did you know that if they’d taken a weekly bath it might have prevented many deaths? (1/8) #TheRegency @wrkclasshistory

If you’ve ever wondered why Samuel Taylor Coleridge continued to powder his hair, despite the practice no longer being fashionable, today’s your lucky day. #TheRegency #RegencyFashion #Coleridge

#OTD 1812, STC writes to Wordsworth to explain ‘the breach between us.’ He concludes by justifying the use of powder in his hair: ‘it was first put in to prevent my taking cold after my hair had been thinned, and I was advised to continue it till I became wholly grey.'

I'd had no idea, until I started watching Sharpe, just how popular hairspray was during the Peninsular War. And they say TV isn’t educational !! #SeanBean #PeninsularWar #TheRegency

Cycling must have been a whole lot less fun before pedals were invented. More like going for a walk with a bike between your legs. (From “The Dandy’s Perambulations”. 1819.) #TheRegency #Cycling #EnglishHistory
