1/3 ...specific aspects of 19thC England contributed to a 1960s 'rediscovery ' of the Victorians, with their world, including its dark side becoming very fashionable after years of supposed repression, a view not explaining, say, Sadleir's *Fanny By Gaslight* a very popular 1940s book & its film.
1/2 ...1960s-1970s underground press in promoting hedonism, living-for-the moment & decrying the 'respectables'' restrictions & 'puritanism'. Underground magazines made great use of what 19thC cultures alined with theirs, reprinting histories, literature, illustrations etc. whilst studies of...
Is your '"P-rn-gr-phy", "-bsc-n-" etc publications & their marketing in mid-19thC England project dormant or live? Can send you biographical info on Cook, Buck & others in Bristol, Gloucestershire & maybe adjacent areas from time to time. More enthusiastic flyers from the irrepressible Henry C:
Only people who have their playtime paid for by others are going to be able to access this item. Asking an author for the favour of access to an item is pathetic & inadequate, especially requesting those considering themselves 'Public Historians', another False Construction from within The Academy.
👍 Do you have colour preference? - and if you are wondering about the other *Jack Russell*:
A 'few' can be found with an online search: (was surprised at lack of colour variation in the image examples; perhaps they were chosen as conforming to breed standards)
It is *British Pharmacopoeia*, (London, 1864+); digital copies on *Internet Archive*. See *Wikipedia* entries for *Pharmacopoeia* & *British Pharmacopoeia* (also with references to *BP*predecessor, successor & parallel publications). Images:
Completely unconnected with the above posts, a reference to Aristo springs to mind......
TH & PV: I had forgotten (not wanting to remember anything much about her), there are photographs (seen online) of ANW when a PPE (natch) student at Oxford in the early 1970s wearing _hot pants_. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find them in a quick search but here are two other ANW/UoO pix.
The *Job Centre Plus* offices, Worcester Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, UK. Soon to be very familiar to staff at several levels from @bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
@scarredforlife.bsky.social SDL: Have you covered the *Follyfoot* opening title yet? Unsuspecting child viewers saw a twilight stygian black-clouded landscape of darkness and decay with a half-pan-half-jackel-like twisted-limbed creature rising from a sodden marsh to commit unspeakable horrors.
Console yourself by recalling that *July* is from *Julius Caesar*, with whom later Britons had 'difficulties'. *June* is from the Roman goddess *Juno* - here with a mobile phone, as Ead-Keis, Luu-Nei & Wa-Koe proved on their *Not-Chinese-Agents-Promoting-Anti-European-Propaganda* *YouTube* channel.
This has been a growing & repellent trend in UK major Museum & Gallery marketing for several years. The images are of a 2022 *TNA* promotion of a jigsaw of 'the order for Anne Boleyn's execution' (sic) & my 2022 *Twitter*comment, *Like* reactions to it & a 2025 *Bluesky* post (*TNA* never replied).
Noticeable several older C4 series online officially & unofficially have been edited to remove items now deemed 'sensitive' (compare with audience recorded videos). *Renault Moment*: 'I am shocked, shocked, that the UK's most elitist & self-serving broadcaster should be so openly hypocritical'.
Advertisement for the *National Health Society* (1871-c1947), enabler & promotor of the public conception of *National Health* as a responsibility of the state & its citizens & implicitly meaning providing a *National Health Service* to achieve it. Conceived & established by Elizabeth Blackwell.
1/1 @darcy1968.bsky.social @djtaylorwriter.bsky.social @thelong1930s.bsky.social @spaincivilwartours.bsky.social & others. Almost certainly (as yet unevidenced) where Brenda Salkeld was trained as a Physical Training teacher, 1918X1920 & from where she went to St Felix's School, Southwold.
1/3 ...Another bibliography is a draft on the ultra-niche subject of *The Burmese Novel in English, 1820-1950*, that is, fiction set in Burma & written in English. For 92 years what little study there is of this 2 centuries-old subject has been sharply divided into two parts: 1) It. 2) The Rest.
1/2 Of own lists, related maybe to the above I one is begun after noting online debates is of newspaper & periodical mentions of the immortal 'Mike Hunt' (born in English barracks in the 18thC) from c1840-c1999, plus his extended family of 'Seymour Cox', 'Mary Hinge', 'Don Kiddick' & many others...
1/1 @digivictorian.bsky.social Other bibliographical interests are Gloucestershire & West England, including all genres, such as this mid-19thC flyer from Bristol for books of a certain kind that you may know of via your *Advertising P-rn-graphy...* project. Image <@digivictorian.bsky.social
1/2 ..._And_ Not only is Louis James _still alive_ but he has a very supportive son, Jim A James, who made an autobiographical interview (plus notes & links) with him last year & posted it on *YouTube* (see images). (unable to link for tech reasons but search gives it easily)
1/1 You _haven't_ read *FFTWM* (swoons in 19th C). See 3rd edition, (London, Edward Everett, 2017) & illustrated companion *Print And The People 1819-1851* (1: Harmondsworth, Allan Lane, 1976). *PATP* is where I first saw the *The Land Of Liberty In The 19th Century* cartoon (top half only)...
1) The bibliographic class of lower class fiction & factual literature in English formally brought to The Academy & beyond by Louis Jameses *Fiction For The Working Man* (1: OUP, 1963) & its development since. Enough of a landmark for James to be forgiven the 'Man' (just).
