The Guardian view on the Women’s Library at 100: a cause for celebration but not complacency | Editorial Editorial: The ups and downs of the collection launched by Millicent Fawcett make it an apt symbol of an ongoing struggle

This image is a vintage Easter Greetings postcard featuring a common aesthetic from the late 19th to early 20th century. The illustration depicts two small children in a grassy field surrounded by large white eggs and small yellow chicks. One child is shown using a hammer to crack open an egg, a popular and somewhat absurd theme in Victorian-era greeting cards. The postcard style is reminiscent of Swedish illustrator Jenny Nyström's work, which often depicted children in holiday scenes. Such postcards were widely sent during the Victorian era and early 20th century

This item is a vintage Victorian-era postcard titled "Easter Greetings". It features a humorous and somewhat surreal illustration of a boy falling headfirst into a giant egg while another child watches. Such postcards were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featuring unusual or whimsical themes rather than traditional religious imagery. This specific postcard design is sometimes referred to as "Weird Victorian Easter Greetings" by collectors.

This image is a vintage Easter greeting card featuring four rabbits dancing while inside large, colorful eggs. The card has a distinctive Victorian or Edwardian aesthetic style, often known for bizarre or whimsical imagery. It prominently displays the text "EASTER GREETINGS" in the lower-left corner. Similar vintage postcards from this era are highly collectible and known for unusual illustrations of anthropomorphic animals.

As you know In the run up to Christmas and Easter I always try and post a few of the weird and wonderful Victorian/Edwardian cards and postcards. 😂

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

Exhibit one: why so little attention to the travails of our national library?

Work of the Week!
Ruby, c.1908-9 by Thomas Cooper Gotch

This may be a portrait of Ruby Bone, a Newlyn girl, who was aged four in the 1911 census. However, the title could quite easily be symbolic, referring to the girl’s striking
red hair, rosy cheeks and red cape.
