Paragraph from Franklin Matthews’s comment on Thomas Collier Platt (Republican), published in Harper’s Weekly in Sept 1897. Platt is described as someone who is alienating people, who “raises money for party purposes by questionable means”, “who puts personal advantage above party supremacy”, and more.

Harper’s Weekly, 25 Sept. 1897 (a comment on Thomas C. Platt and his impact on the Republican Party in the state of New York). Some of the descriptions would also fit someone else…⬇️

That a lot to pack into a tiny plot of land reclaimed from the sea (for now...)

Sacred to the memory of SARAH PRICE CLARKE.

who was the only surviving issue and heiress of GODFREY CLARKE Esq. of Sutton Hall in the County of Derby.

She departed this life in the city of Exeter on the 24 of November 1801.

In her were united all the virtues which give dignity to birth, or utility to fortune.

Her mind possessed an energy which does not often mark the female character Her friendship was warm, and her charity was never restrained by individual convenience.

Her bosom was the seat of those energies which give activity to virtue.

Possessed of superior talents and unimpeached honour, she never pursued frivolity with severity, or the loss of fame with triumph.

Her latter years were marked by declining health, and her sufferings by patience.

Her faith was fervent, her reward is sure.

A favourite plaque in Exeter Cathedral.

Highly illustrative of patriarchal attitudes to women in the period and also of the prevalence of many years of illness leading to death.

#Victorian innovation never ceases to amaze me. If there was a process needing industrialising, scaling, and making more efficient, they found the solution. Exhibit #1: how Carlisle solved the tricky problem of polishing its turds. #OrdnanceSurvey #Map #Manure #EnvHist #NneteenthCentury #History

Colorful illustrated calendar from The Youth’s Companion, dated A.D. 1879, showing October, November, and December months. The central illustration depicts three children harvesting apples: one boy in a hat gathering apples into a large basket, another boy reaching up to pick fruit from the tree, and a girl in a long yellow dress holding a small pail. Decorative floral borders surround the scene. At the bottom, a motto reads: ‘Not by companionship alone, by what one reads, a man is known.’

Daytime scene in a large city beneath a very old stone pedestrian tunnel which spans under a 4-track wide section of commuter railroad track; dating back to the 1890's, this viaduct is part of the MTA Metro North railway system, other portions of which are undergoing construction due to aging and deterioration, however this section is still in great condition; in the distance, at the other end of the tunnel is the daylight of a mostly sunny day as a delivery bike passes by, a walking signal has counted down to four seconds, and a mother (or nanny) approaches pushing a stroller (pram) along the sidewalk (pavement) which is covered by construction scaffolding.
