Good Lord, what madness rules in brain-sick men,
When for so slight and frivolous a cause
Such factious emulations shall arise!
We especially like this C18 print of 'Gold Coast Animals' by G Child, printmaker, showing the sloth as a "Potto or SLUGGARD"! Don't you just love the English language?!

Great to see our expertise helping uncover the secrets of a ‘dinosaur superhighway’ found in Oxfordshire and widely reported on TV news.🦕

LJMU’s Professor Peter Falkingham says the giant footprints could answer questions about how dinosaurs moved and interacted.

Here's an illustration from the Drayton Parslow Parish Register in 1780 - a skull and bones with a floral motif. A morbid doodle or a helpful way to mark a section of burials?

Tomorrow is UK Fungus Day! 🍄

Did you know we look after notebooks of botanist Edward Parfitt (1820-1893) relating to Devonshire fungi?

His notes include watercolour illustrations and notes on when and where he observed different types of fungi.
