Every Monday (not Bank holidays) at 11.30 and 14.00 the @V_and_A National Art Library staff give a free talk about an item in their collection.
This morning Vicky Worsfold presented Maria Sibylla Merian's Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (1705).

Lovely to see my book, The Kind Librarian, is rippling out already.
We need more kindness and although my book is about libraries a lot of it can transfer to other scenarios.

#OTD in 1840 the world's first adhesive #PostageStamp, the #PennyBlack, went on sale. ✉️
In our #MuseumArchives, a stamp represents the human side of science and public engagement: the exchange of ideas and information with individuals from all around the world, since 1881. 🗣️

Nature’s pitfall trap, the #PitcherPlant. Such intriguing plants. Frederick William Burbidge (1847-1905) captured their architectural beauty during his expedition to Borneo in 1877-8. #WorldCarnivorousPlantDay #DigitisedCollections
