Nashville: we’ve been practicing throwing catfish on ice for a while now… 😈 (hot chicken will come out if things get really bad)

I’ve been saving cataloguing several little booklets of ornament prints as a special “treat.” I needed them today 😔 Here are a few lovely little details from the booklet featuring Adriaen Collaert and Etienne Delaune to help offer a momentary break from the tragedies filling our timelines.

This 1800 print that I just catalogued isn’t in good condition, but I love that it was published by Lackington, of the Temple of the Muses bookstore fame - and therefore feels like a ticket into that space! (See v cool trade cards from British Museum, touting a stock of 200k volumes for sale!)

Cataloguing some Picart prints cut out from the Ceremonies et Costumes religieuses de tout les peuples du monde (1723-37) and found this absolute gem in a digitized copy!

Dangerous 25¢ record sale this weekend at The Great Escape in Nashville! So tempting to buy for the sleeve art alone…

So excited for this!

Following @possumeveryhour.io was an excellent decision during these anxious times 🙏

Anyone else having issues lately with British Museum collection website functionality? Search no longer works for me in Safari, and permalinks bring up blank pages across browsers 🤔
