Resharing a witch tree for Halloween.
Psychojographer@psychojography9 Mar 2023
Rainy day visit to a 'Witch Tree'. Meet Old Knobbley. According to local lore, women would hide from self-appointed 'Witchfinder General' Matthew Hopkins in spaces within the trunk of this huge ancient Oak. Mistley, Essex.

This is the nicest thing I saw today. “Priamus polycletes” [sic] in Carl Clerck’s Icones insectorum rariorum (1759). This copy at the @LinneanSociety is from the private library of Carl Linnaeus, and annotated by him.

My talk about Elizabeth Blackwell and her “Curious Herbal” is now on the @LinneanSociety’s YouTube channel. It’s an imperfect presentation in lots of ways—and I make a few embarrassing mistakes—but I hope it’s a useful introduction to an amazing book 😊 youtu.be/SurhOJ_x71U?si=4GTh…

I found another AI-generated garbage diagram in a scientific journal. It’s entirely gibberish and features anatomically incorrect limbs with too many bones. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Apparently, there are many weird and wonderful Polling Stations across Britian, from pubs to Launderettes… Well you can add to that list a museum with a giant sea monster, because today our museum has become a Polling Station. I wonder who our Sea Rex would vote for? #vote

I have a difficult relationship with birds (more Hitchcock than Springwatch), but I really, really love this book at the @LinneanSociety: Louis Agassiz Fuertes ‘Birds of Abyssinia’. Fuertes died in a train crash in 1927, and these illustrations were salvaged from the wreckage.

This beautiful dictionary of colours found in nature dates back more than a century before @pantone. 🎨 Werner's Nomenclature of Colour was an indispensable resource for Charles Darwin, helping him describe new species. What do you think? Which colour is your favourite?
Teal leather-look cover of Werner's Nomenclature of Colours with a range of small differently coloured squares. Additional text reads "Adapted to Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Anatomy, and the Arts, By P. Syme. The book Charles Darwin used to describe colours in nature on his voyage on the HMS Beagle"
