A future fossil | at the 'Secrets of the Thames ' | exhibition. #dailyhaiku #museumoflondon
A lime bike, or similar, mostly encased in concrete -- the kind of thing that future mudlarks might puzzle over, assuming the world doesn't end this year.

A mudlark shows off | an arrowhead moulded from | one (Norman) she found #dailyhaiku #museumoflondon-docklands
A woman holds an arrow with a sharp iron point. It's moulded from a Norman arrowhead she found on the Thames foreshore. Behind her are people listening to her speak: on the table in front of her, various finds she's described. Part of the 'Secrets of the Thames' exhibition at the Museum of London, Docklands. Also features the Battersea Shield, the Waterloo helmet and a lot of modern artwork inspired by the finds.

#embroidery #myotherhobby #embroideredjackets #museumoflondon

Apropos of nothing, I was reading my copy of The Besler Florilegium (1613), & thought a painting of laburnum looks kind of like the motifs on the embroidered jacket from the Museum of London. *sigh* Need to completely rebuild my website.
An ink drawing of the monochrome embroidered jacket (1600-1620; exact date unknown) at the Museum of London (I think it is in the V&A’s costume archive now), showing the cascading flower motif repeated all over the jacket. Embroidery thread is silk, jacket is linen. The jacket is drawn as if worn, with the front pulled closed, an high neckline, and the arms out in front (figure is facing 2/3 left), to show the embroidery design. Digital text underneath reads: Museum of London embroidered jacket, 1600-1620, drawing by Laura Mellin. A colour photograph of plate 8 from the Besler Florilegium, 1613, showing two kinds of laburnum flowers. Left is Alpine laburnum, with long bracts of small yellow flowers, seed pods, and green leaves. Right is Laburnum (false ebony), which has larger yellow flower bracts, and no seed pods. The false ebony laburnum has a resemblance to the embroidered bracts on the Museum of London jacket. An ink drawing by me of the individual motifs repeated on the Museum of London embroidered jacket. They are somewhat abstract, but the top of the false ebony laburnum in the Besler Florilegium (plate 8) shows how the upper part of the branch matches both the leaf and the drooping bracts in the embroidery. So, instead of a vine, as I suggested on my very old (and in need of rebuilding) website, these could be construed as false ebony laburnum, since the Florilegium and the jacket are from roughly the same date. It’s just a theory. A colour photograph closeup of plate 8 in The Besler Florilegium (1613), showing the top of the false ebony laburnum, which shows the crossing stems, leaves, and drooping flower bracts that may have inspired the Museum of London embroidered jacket.

#DYK in the 1920s a tennis ball was found in the rafters of Westminster Hall's 14th century hammerbeam roof? The ball, now at the @MuseumofLondon, dates back to the 16th century. But there is no evidence that the hall itself was ever used as a court. #mythbusters #Wimbledon
Image of the roof of Westminster Hall. The photo is taken from the ground, pointing up to the ceiling. The wooden beams stick out 1/4 of the way into the ceiling, making a curved shape. The wood is a rich brown-colour. A series of decorative lights hang from the ceiling between every third beam and arch shaped windows are between every beam.

I am re-reading Mansfield Park and feel much kinder towards Fanny Price. As a teenager I found her insipid but adulthood made me realise she is quietly accepting of her situation. Here is Fanny in printed cotton alongside Mary Crawford in bold red gauze #ksumuseum #museumoflondon #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Side by side image of two regency gowns. One a pale printed cotton and the other a deep red gold embellished gauze
