As late as 1890, people believed that smaller birds migrated by riding on the backs of geese, swans, storks, and cranes. This wasn't just urban legend, this was the esteemed outdoors publication Forest and Stream going out of its way to make this point. #historysky

Back in the day, before you could create kids profiles on Netflix or YouTube, TV stations had to ensure the public they wouldn’t let the youth of the time get corrupted by televised content.
Was it too much or too little?

Cover of the Antony Beevor book “Rasputin and the downfall of the Romanovs” featuring a picture of Tsar Nicholas II, one of Rasputin and an other of Tsarina Alexandra
Ra-Ra-Rasputin dropped through my letterbox today. Fascinating period and equally fascinating personalities. Looking forward to this one #booksky #historysky

Something colourful to start the week with: Albrecht Durer's illustration of Livonian ladies in their spectacular form of dress, painted in 1521. Livonia, I learn, was a former province which would now straddle the borders of Latvia and Estonia.

A picture from the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp on April 11, 1945. Elie Wiesel is in this famous picture.
"Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."
Elie Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp #OTD in 1945, along with 21,000 others. #HistorySky + #WW2.

The marketing team behind this 1950s allergy medicine really sold the idea of Arizona as a easy-breathing paradise!
It might seem strange in modern times, but the desert air was long prescribed by doctors for tuberculosis patients or anyone with a chronic, congested cough.

A few selections from last week's Edible Books Festival, including our winner of the Golden Spatula: a cake dressed up as a Victorian poisonous green book, a shade created by combining copper and arsenic (by the Victorians). Also featured are The Works of John Locke and Bookfish. #historysky

A question for any economic Historians out there (If you know one, please tag them!): if you take the set “Israel and its neighbors,” meaning literal neighbors Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt, when did Israel become the wealthiest per capita amongst them?
