I visited this intriguing copy a couple of years ago, and spoke about EB in #Newcastle conference 'Integrating the Image: Visual Culture, Material Culture, and Early Modern British History' in January of this year. #LoveNewcastle
On this dull January day here are some bright illustrations from Elizabeth Blackwell's Curious Herbal of 1739.

Blackwell published the book to raise money to rescue her husband, from a debtor's prison where he had spent two years.

A happy #ValentinesDay in sunny Newcastle where 100s turned up for the #UnityRally and we chased the racists away from the asylum seeker hotel ✊🏻
