Nice little break from transcribing letters: found these doodles of Faraday @rigb.org and Herschel in a letter from novelist Maria Edgeworth (1802-1869) in 1844 @bodleian.ox.ac.uk, writing about Faraday’s Xmas lectures on electricity - pretty solid likenesses to be honest!
3/4 sketch portraits of Herschel (left) and Faraday (right) on a small piece of paper, laid on top of a letter. MS. eng. lett. C. 718, fold. 138-143. Bodleian Libraries. Digital surrogate online.

When at a Faraday Discussion at the @rsc.org venue, Burlington House, London, it's always good to meet up with the main man Faraday himself, albeit in statue form. Thanks to @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org Editor Michael Rowan for posing with me at #FD_Lignin last week.
