Can any #histodon or #histodons#help me with finding some sources on battles during the #mexican#revolution , hopefully with #maps of each battlefield and the description of how the battles happened with specific troops?
Its so easy to find #historical information on other #history in the #1910s but surprisingly hard here.
I have an idea for 3D modelling and wish to see if its feasible.
We had a great time at the Jane Austen Centre yesterday.
Jane Austen is one of the very few women who didn't go in my book simply for being very well-known and not an "unsung" woman! Maybe one day, most of the women in the book will get their due!
Whilst we were there, I couldn't resist writing my book's title with a quill!
Thomas Campion - Now Winter Nights Enlarge: an evocative description of Winter pastimes in #earlymodern England
Eleanor Cramer: soprano
Christopher Goodwin: lute
Alison Kinder: bass viol
Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o’erflow with wine,
Let well-turned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
This time doth well dispense
With lovers’ long discourse;
Much speech hath some defense,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys,
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten tedious nights.

"The investigation shows that the Kvens constituted a group of Finnish speaking people existing in continuity from the Viking Age. Their core territory was situated in the upper Gulf of Bothnia area.

Based on the orders of the highest German command in Belgrade it is proclaimed that in the case of the German or I. and R. Austro-Hungarian military units (troops) in Belgrade or in the suburbs being shot at or other hostile action initiated by the civilians, the pre-aimed batteries will in such a case immediately start shelling the town and set it ablaze.
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
In #earlymodern London, 29 October (the day after the feast of Saints Simon and Jude) was the day of the Lord Mayor's Triumph.
Late as I walked through Cheapside, an early #17thCentury ballad from Ms Drexel 4257 describes the sights and sounds of the day.
Details include the Lord Mayor's procession through the streets of London, accompanied by civic dignitaries, liverymen, whifflers, and more; horses, wild men and noisy fireworks; and pageants with boy and girl actors.

🗞️ NEW: we're now in production of a large number of films on the Italian Renaissance in a fresh, original format.
From narrative explorations of the lives and accomplishments of famous artists to detailed profiles of renowned writers to a series of broad contextual overviews illustrating what made this particular time and place so special.
I'm trying to commission an illustrator who will turn somebody's PhD (on the subject of history solidarity / peace / anti-nuclear warfare in the 1980s) into a comic book strip / big cartoon-y poster. Not sure sure where to go looking - any ideas?
Centuries ahead of its time, Giovanni Battista Bracelli's "Bizzarie di Varie Figure" (1624) depicts figures made from a range of objects, mostly abstract — cubes, rings, squares — but also such things as rackets, screws, and braided hair.

"He demonstrates how imperial Christianity inflected the production of truth far beyond the domain of theology — and how intellectual tools forged in the fires of doctrinal controversy shed their theological baggage and came to undergird the great intellectual productions of the Theodosian Age, and their material expressions."
