Map from my copy of ‘The History of America’ by Scottish historian William Robertson covering the Spanish conquest of the New World & the European discovery of the Americas. This edition was published in 1778 prior to the founding of the United States.

Let's start the New Year with poetry and romance.

Here is a hand-made card with a love poem for New Year’s Day 1796.

Auguste’s New Year’s greeting to Max Joseph, January 1, 1796: on the left side: a painting of a rose inside a laurel wreath. On the right: printed poem in a laurel wreath and an attached paper cover one can lift. When lifted, you see a personal message written by hand.

I wrote in @contingent-mag.bsky.social about how a chance encounter with monsters in the archives led to my two books on monsters, science, exploration, maps, and culture.

A historian who pays full attention to their sources can’t help but be transformed into a monster...

The 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun as observed by
David Rittenhouse. His observations of Venus’s atmosphere are the pyramid shape in Fig 2. The gap in observations is when he fainted from excitement/exhaustion.
Engraving in my 1789 copy of Transactions of the American Philosophical Society.
portion of a large fold out astronomical diagram depicting Venus at different points as it transited the sun in 1769 as recorded in Norriton, Pennsylvania. There are three separate figures enlarging Venus just as it transited the edge of the sun. #Astronomy #stars #venus #sun #astrosky #c18th #18thcentury #histsci

19 December is also the day in 1783 that William Pitt (Jr) became Prime Minister of Great Britain. After Paine fled to France in 1792, the Pitt government tried and convicted Paine in absentia primarily for the impact of Paine’s Rights of Man that opposed the idea of hereditary government.
A colored, late 18th century political cartoon labeled Wha wants me at the bottom printed in London in 1792. Print and following text via Library of Congress. “Print shows Thomas Paine, full-length, standing, facing left, holding scroll "rights of man", surrounded by injustices and standing on labels, representing morals and justices, defending measures taken in revolutionary France and appealing to the English to overthrow their monarchy and organize a republic.” #OTD #c18th #18thc #18thcentury #rightsofman #ageofreason #fashizzle
