Horrible Histories S01E03
↳ Slimy Stuarts: Wife swap with the Miserables, a Puritan family, and the Merrys, a Restoration family

~ History ~

Some names such as Joy, Hope, and Mercy are still used today but others such as Silence, Discipline, and ‘If Christ had not died for thee, thou hadst been damned’ were real. Here is a list of more Puritan names

History is one thousand times more utterly ridiculous than you might think O.O

Google has built a stunning, searchable archive of 3,000 years of world fashion

It's an endlessly entertaining portal touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at Versailles.

“We Wear Culture” is a collaboration between Google and more than 180 museums, schools, fashion institutions, and other organizations from all parts of the globe. It’s part of Google’s Arts & Culture platform, which is digitizing the world’s cultural treasures, and functions as a searchable guide to a collective archive of some 30,000 fashion pieces that puts “three millennia of fashion at your fingertips,” Google says.

But it isn’t just a database. Google has worked with curators to create more than 450 exhibits on different topics—say, how the cheongsam changed the way Chinese women dress—making the site an endlessly entertaining, educational portal filled with stunning imagery touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at the court of Versailles.

i can already tell this has made writing for historical fandoms – the worst part of which, for me, is absofuckinglutely hands-down the clothing – much easier.

Speaking of call outs..

The Times-Picayune, New Orleans, May 7, 1837

Wikipedia says that Deaf Burke was “one of England’s earliest boxing champions. He was also deaf.”

Oooh, about this particular clipping:

“He went to the United States and fought the new Irish champion Sam O'Rourke in New Orleans on 6 May 1837. As the fight progressed, O'Rourke took heavy punishment. In the third round, fearing O'Rourke’s defeat, elements of the crowd rioted and caused the fight to be abandoned. Burke was forced to flee on horseback.”
