Hiya! Since it's been awhile, we thought we'd reintroduce ourselves 🤗 (Here come the #hastags!)

We are Von Verity, a "#virtualmuseum" focused on #digitalcuration with a love of #hope, #truth, and #curiosity. Our bread and butter is #publicdomain images.

Thanks! 😊

X...is for his mark. It is not uncommon in archives to find a document marked X. An X acted as a signature for those unable to write their own name due to illiteracy or disability. Here's an example from a soldier's will for a soldier from Belfast who died in 1916 #ArchiveZ

#OnThisDay 1801, Joseph Plateu was born.

Joseph Plateu was one of the first people to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image and invented the phenakistoscope, which is pictured here.

The upper floors of @britishmuseum (where all the best galleries are) may be shut at the moment but there is no reason why you shouldn't get to enjoy some of their treats - todays snapshot comes from Gallery 39 (Clocks and Watches*)
*and Marine Chronometers.
