#twitterstorians any idea what this phrase means: 'Public jobbing'? Context: The Economist, Jan 1851 describing the state of progress in Britain and how far society had come since 1800, so in 1800 "public jobbing [was] flagrant and shameless". Thanks!

Hi #twitterstorians #photohist! Anyone have any good suggestions for academic research on photographs that lie, deceive, photographic fakes, hoaxes? (I've already got stuff on the Cottingley Fairies) Thanks all!
#photohist Hi everyone. Can anyone point me in the direction of hist of photog/photo theory work on 'unwilling' photographic subjects please? Any period/context would be great! Thanks!
It’s ok that I’m finally getting rid of my handwritten undergrad module notes from 2003, right? Will I regret this? What if I need to write about medieval misogyny again? 😬
Nope, I’ve chickened out. I can’t do it! There’s some really good stuff in there all thanks to @BeattieDr !
