Beatrix Potter is best remembered for her charming tales of Peter Rabbit, but did you know she also studied #science?
Potter collected & examined beetles, butterflies, plants, bird eggs, shells, rocks, fossils & especially fungi. She conducted experiments & wrote a scientific paper with her own illustrations, presented at the Linnean Society of London. However, as a woman in the Victorian era, she couldn’t even attend the meeting. nytimes.com/2023/04/26/arts/de… #HistoryRemix #history #art #books

Lil something I did in the hospital.
Nothing serious, just a little health scare and I think my sheer wish to up and leave the ER leaked in subconsciously.

“Practice any #art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”
- Kurt Vonnegut, in his letter to students at New York's Xavier High School in 2006

Over at the delightful Marginalian, @mariapopova has more on how Marianne North revolutionized #art & #science. themarginalian.org/2023/01/23/…
"Epochs ahead of the modern environmental movement, a century before Rachel Carson cautioned that 'the real wealth of the Nation lies in the resources of the earth — soil, water, forests, minerals, and wildlife,' Marianne North sorrowed to see the quarrying & chemicalizing of #nature." /3

One more story about botanical artist Marianne North with a modern twist...
A couple of years ago, Tianyi Yu recognized 14 new-to-science species of bright-blue fruited rainforest shrubs.
One specimen was first collected in 1973, but it turns out, North painted it ~100 years earlier in 1876.
Here’s her painting beside “Chassalia northiana T.Y. Yu” - which became the 5th plant species named in Marianne North’s honor. kew.org/read-and-watch/mariann… #art #history #nature #science #HistoryRemix /2
Painted by Marianne North in 1876, named in 2021
Fourteen new species to science of bright-blue fruited rainforest shrub have been discovered, including one painted by Marianne Northwww.kew.org

Marianne North traveled to 6 continents & 17 countries, painting exotic plants in remote & hazardous jungles… all while traveling alone in Victorian dress in the 1800s.
North depicted over 1,000 scientifically accurate pitcher plants, orchids, ferns & more. Her oil paintings introduced botanists to multiple previously unidentified species & several are named after her.
Her art has its own gallery at Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. artsandculture.google.com/stor… #HistoryRemix #history #art #science
