It is always impressive when something very old is somehow very fitting for our modern world.
Mr. Mason shared this picture, but I tracked down the 1884 issue of the 'Puck' magazine and wanted to show the rest in the series as well.
So check out this thread;
First the full page, not sure if it's readable, but just to give you an idea of how it looked when published and here you can find the full magazine;

This Friday the game 'Manor Lord' is coming out, it's a medieval city builder that I've made a modest contribution to as a historical consultant and beta tester for.
I've been very excited about it for a long time and I'm not the only one, it's creating quite a buzz and has ended up on a lot of wishlists.
What I love about it most is that it tries to depict the middle ages in an accurate way, behind the scenes historians, experts & history addicts have been debating the tiniest details.
I think the result is one of the most historically accurate medieval games I've ever played.

So let's have a sneak peek at it shall we?

First, here's an official video:
Before you start you set up your profile and design your own family crest, look familiar?
This bit alone is SUCH fun, you can fiddle and play with this editor for ages till you get exactly what you want and then you'll see it on the banners in the game!
SUCH FUN! Image

Sigh.
An account with half a million followers just tweeted that long debunked 'life in the 1500s' nonsense, 2.2 million people have seen it.
So here we go again...

These phrases are much more recent:

Facts she says. Image
People washed, used soap, had regular baths and winter weddings were more popular back then, when there are few flowers but full store houses.

Thread of some of the countless fun illustrations in this amazing medieval copy of 'Romance of Alexander'.
Full book here:


We start with this naked chap with nuns in a wheelbarrow.
Don't ask me what it means. digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/ae9f6c…

Nuns & monks playing baseball?
Put everyone in a habit, that would make sports more interesting to watch. Image
Well that's no fun. Image

Recently I spotted a little holiday photo album for sale, usually I'm not interested in them because such photos are generally a bit boring, but I spotted a tiny detail that told me the album was very interesting.
Yes, that V sign.
Let's check the album out together.

Photo 🧵! Image
The album starts in Dresden, April 10th 1941.
Less then 4 years after the photo was taken this church would be a ruin.


The Dresden Zwinger, a palatial complex with gardens.
Also a ruin just a few years later.

I love old wallpaper sample books, they're quite the treasure trove for set designers, researchers, historians, etc.
So let's look at a few I recently bought, Belgian, 1930s.
It starts nice and calm but then... Image
Nothing shocking here.
But yes, the first book is all textured paper, you can stroke it and it's lovely.

Some fake tiles, quite impressive, they look and feel real but are just paper and with gold inbetween!
