Spooky, scary skeletons! 💀 In this allegory of La Danse Macabre in a 14th-century Book of Hours, an abbot is led away by one corpse whilst the other holds the gem of his habit. A very spooktacular site for #Halloween night! 🎃💀 (@MorganLibrary MS M.359, f. 132r)
Very much enjoyed the Becoming the Brontës display at Treasures of Brotherton Library which is part of @LEEDS_2023! A highlight had to be seeing the tiny books the Brontës created close up 📖 instagram.com/p/CvS2p3HoyyR/…

Sunny with a bit of a breeze? Ideal weather to dry your clothes. The Browne family who lived in Walmgate Bar had a similar idea in the early 18th century. In this watercolour you can see clothes on the top of the Bar drying in the sunshine. 🌞🌬️
