What did that Lion do to that Horse anyway? Oh right, pretended to be a doctor so it could eat him! Aesop, c. 1522 #TeamHorse #Caturday #NotALion (Case Y 642 .A3104) @newberrylibrary.bsky.social

Gotta love that hauntingly transparent look in the lower left...

Digging for Neanderthals under medieval castles, an overhyped wellness trend? (Yes, there may have been a semicolon in that National Geographic Top 10 email subject, but who's counting?)

Feathered Finery Not sure when the color was applied in all cases, but the awareness of the feather work on the cap of this allegorical figure representing the Americas is lovely to see! From various Ortelius Theatrum Terrarum title pages, all @newberrylibrary.bsky.social!

Take Shelter? Hoping the bike ride home today doesn't look like this again... But at least now I can truthfully say I have biked during a hailstorm! (Unintentionally!)

I'm always surprised when my work makes it into the classroom at all, but "Altered and Adorned: Using Renaissance Prints in Daily Life" reads like a breezy essay! Kinda hoping "Impressive Textiles: Premodern Printing on Fabric" prevails in open access in October! yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

My fellow historians, which single academic article of yours do you think 'teaches best', i.e. for both staff and students it's doing work that leads to a strong class discussion + students remember it? I am interested in how people see their own work. I'll go first. Hit reply and link your pick!

Did I READ THE FINE PRINT? Nein! This image, of a Playmobil figure so devoutly to be wished, is apparently already labeled as KI, (AI auf Deutsch), but I didn't notice when I posted it last night. From the positive response, clearly we need a REAL Hildegard!

Make Mistakes? OUR Hero? My high school Latin suggests this map from an Ortelius Atlas is about the wanderings of Ulysses/Odysseus, NOT necessarily his errors... But same difference, it did take him an epically long time to get home! #Odyessy
