    FWIW, I think if I were the woman on the left I might offer some pain medication for the woman on the right as that neck extension does not look in the least bit comfortable to me!

    Caption competition (for fun not prizes sadly). I wonder what the lady on the left is saying to the lady on the right? (From the for December 1805)

    Planning an encyclopaedia entry on the Lady’s Magazine today. Don’t have many words so trying to work out what people will most want to know and what I can most usefully tell them. Thoughts?

    Jane Austen and Bath: Bath was renowned as a shopping centre and many were the commissions that Jane Austen undertook for friends and members of her family whenever she was there. Milsom Street was perhaps the most famous, as it is today. ("Jane Austen in Bath" by Jean Freeman)

    Well, this is a new one to me. Pickled mushrooms. But really, how much time did the Lady's Monthly Museum expect its readers to be at sea and craving mushrooms?

    So delighted to find (fairly sure of the attribution now) that York born Owenite campaigner Eliza Maucauley Wright (c.1785-1837), wrote for the as a young woman. This is also a wild story!

    Been having a bit too much fun/aka getting distracted looking at newspaper ads for mag illustrations this am. In the process came across this by 'Annette' for the Courier in early 1900s, 'discovering' the Lady's Monthly Museum. Wonder what she would have made of the ?

    This week I’ve been mounting 18th century dress for the upcoming fashion exhibition. A rare example of a robe volante is on the agenda for today!

    Having decided the other day I wanted a Trafalgar Turban, today I'm obsessed with the 'Incognita Hat', popularised by Miss Duncan at the New Opera. I am also deeply curious about how this is worn. I'm not sure this model can see where she is going. La Belle Assemblee, Jan 1807.

    I posted abt this wonderful book on my personal Twitter but it occurs to me project followers might be interested too. If you haven’t read The Confessions of Frannie Langton by you should. Set in 1820s with a Jamaican heroine, it is love story and whodunnit. Superb!

    So love this plate (and only one of many figures) in the first issue of John Bell's La Belle Assemblee (Feb 1806). The 'Trafalgar Dress' was to be white satin with gold or silver trimming. (This is from the cheaper copy of the magazine sold without coloured fashion plates.)

    The promised regular fashion plates from its inception in 1770. They weren’t regular featuresuntil 1800 when the editors raised the cover price to cover costs. Here is an early rare plate to sate readers’ desire for fashion. Ann Catley in Love in a Village Nov 1772
