James Clerk Maxwell is celebrated for his contributions to electromagnetic equations, but few know he pioneered color photography. Using a three-color filter method (red, green, blue), he theorized that combining monochrome images taken through these filters could reproduce color. Although physicist Thomas Sutton took the actual photo of a tartan ribbon, Maxwell presented the result in 1861—decades before color photography became practical.

Four of the 25 St Andrews calotypes by Hill and Adamson discovered at the Signet Library this morning. No entirely unknown images, but high quality prints well-preserved.

If you’d like a break from *gestures broadly at all of this* the capybaras at the Edinburgh Zoo are locked in a scandalous love triangle.

I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.

A view of London in June 1841 towards Westminster Abbey from Fox Talbot's flat window in Cecil Street. Taken before the Houses of Parliament were built, you can see Westminster Hall to the left.

Once in a while you stumble upon true weapons-grade autism that makes everyone else look like LARPers. Incredible work.

The Old Cornish Accent: This video is a wonderful view into the old Cornish accent and spirit. This fascinating interview of 77 year old Cornish maid Emanda Billings in 1964 is a great insight into the everyday life of our recent ancestors. She was born in Victorian England (1800s), a world in which we've lost all connection. The Cornish accent (also called Anglo-Cornish or Cornu-English) developed as local Celtic speakers shifted to English between 1300 and 1750, adopting regional West Country English while keeping a strong Brittonic language substrate. ⏳️

RIP the Graves Art Gallery, 1934-2026 Nice while it lasted, I reckon they will never move back in once they have left the building in ten days time. Story here - sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/news…

Somewhat later than intended, here's our long-standing start to #SundayMorning. This is "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museum where it is currently on display until 2027. #CecilOsborne #EastLondonGroup
