The Dedication (1908) by Edmund Blair Leighton (English artist, lived 1852–1922). For most of it's existence this was categorised by the art world as a "missing painting" - known to most only by a 1908 black and white photogravure. Sold (I think) in 2013. Arthurian looking scene.

Reflections on the Thames (1880) by Atkinson Grimshaw (English artist, lived 1836–1893).

For they were young and the Thames was old,
And this is the tale that the River told:-- ...'

Madeleine (1883) by Christian Krohg (Norwegian artist, lived 1852–1925). We are left to speculate, but it appears to be a fallen woman in a barren bedroom, sitting on a thin mattress and iron bedstead. Realism in the arts.

Art historians should also explore the new #RoyalSociety digital archive - there are hundreds of diagrams, drawings, watercolours, photographs and paintings, most of which were never published (and the ones that were published, were in B&W even if originals were colour).

For instance, this set of materials about Tenerife includes watercolours and stereoscopic photographs: https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/items/ms_626/tenerife-papers-of-charles-piazzi-smyth?page=10

Very pleased to have put the final touches on 'Beyond the Enlightenment: Scottish Intellectual Life, 1790-1914' (edited by me and Colin Kidd, due #EdinburghUP in May)!

It explores how #Scottish intellectual culture shifted from the #Enlightenment to the #Victorians.

Starting a project just as covid hit wasn't ideal, so many thanks to our talented team of postdocs and all our contributors (and #LeverhulmeTrust and #StAndrewsHistory for support)
