From #NRSArchives:
A map of central Edinburgh as it appeared in 1851, created by English mapmaker and engraver John Rapkin.
Much of the city centre appears as it is now, while outlying areas are still shown as fields.
Zoom in and get a closer look 👇

ALT Intricate, ink-drawn map of central Edinburgh as it appeared in 1851. Much of the city centre appears as it is now but more recent areas such as Broughton and Stockbridge are here shown as fields. The map is surrounded by ornate illustrations of landmarks such as the Royal High School, Royal Institution and the Burns' and Scott Monuments, added after the map was completed. These illustrations were drawn and engraved by Henry Winkles.

Sipping my morning coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups created by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago.
Wouldn’t look too out of place today!
This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware. Kamares Ware vessels are said to have been used in palace banquets, so they may have been used for consumption of alcohol. Analysis of organic residues from ancient Cretan pottery has detected resin-flavoured wine.
