A favourite plaque in Exeter Cathedral.

Highly illustrative of patriarchal attitudes to women in the period and also of the prevalence of many years of illness leading to death.

#Death #Women #Patriarchy #NineteenthCentury #Exeter
Sacred to the memory of SARAH PRICE CLARKE. who was the only surviving issue and heiress of GODFREY CLARKE Esq. of Sutton Hall in the County of Derby. She departed this life in the city of Exeter on the 24 of November 1801. In her were united all the virtues which give dignity to birth, or utility to fortune. Her mind possessed an energy which does not often mark the female character Her friendship was warm, and her charity was never restrained by individual convenience. Her bosom was the seat of those energies which give activity to virtue. Possessed of superior talents and unimpeached honour, she never pursued frivolity with severity, or the loss of fame with triumph. Her latter years were marked by declining health, and her sufferings by patience. Her faith was fervent, her reward is sure.

#victorian innovation never ceases to amaze me. If there was a process needing industrialising, scaling, and making more efficient, they found the solution. Exhibit #1: how Carlisle solved the tricky problem of polishing its turds. #ordnancesurvey #Map #manure #envhist #nneteenthcentury #History

🍂 Happy First Day of Fall! 🍁 As we bid farewell to summer's warmth, let's embrace the autumn!

Image from American Broadsides and Ephemera, 1749-1900.

Colorful illustrated calendar from The Youth’s Companion, dated A.D. 1879, showing October, November, and December months. The central illustration depicts three children harvesting apples: one boy in a hat gathering apples into a large basket, another boy reaching up to pick fruit from the tree, and a girl in a long yellow dress holding a small pail. Decorative floral borders surround the scene. At the bottom, a motto reads: ‘Not by companionship alone, by what one reads, a man is known.’

#NYC #City #NineteenthCentury #Tunnel #Bridge #Viaduct #MTA #MetroNorth #PedestrianInfrastructure
Daytime scene in a large city beneath a very old stone pedestrian tunnel which spans under a 4-track wide section of commuter railroad track; dating back to the 1890's, this viaduct is part of the MTA Metro North railway system, other portions of which are undergoing construction due to aging and deterioration, however this section is still in great condition; in the distance, at the other end of the tunnel is the daylight of a mostly sunny day as a delivery bike passes by, a walking signal has counted down to four seconds, and a mother (or nanny) approaches pushing a stroller (pram) along the sidewalk (pavement) which is covered by construction scaffolding.

Daytime view in a large city, facing upward toward a beautiful old church in a large city, surrounded by a black iron gate, a short stone wall and some small trees; the church, with its granite block exterior, is designed in the Gothic Revival style and features two tall towers flanking a large entrance section with arched doors and stained glass windows and a large, fold and blue relief carving of the heavens and rays of sunlight; the church, completed in 1884, is on the national historic register and is an official landmark in the city; the sky above is overcast with a mis of clouds and wildfire smoke from a neighboring country.
