Hampton Court Kitchens. Photo May 2015.
With the approach of Thanksgiving here in the US, I have cooking on the brain, so here’s yet another picture from the Hampton Court Palace kitchens!
Month: November 2024
Picture of the Week #834
Engraved portrait of Elizabeth I from “Pacata Hibernia”. Photo April 2016.
Since today is the 466th anniversary of the death of Mary I and therefore also the anniversary of Elizabeth I becoming Queen, I thought I would dig out another image from the Shakespeare in Print and Performance exhibit at the Harry Ransom Center at my university. One of these days I’ll finish editing all of my images from the exhibit and do a full write-up of it (only 8+ years too late…)

The skeleton of Richard III. Photo May 2015.
This was the display of Richard’s skeleton (3-D printed reproduction) at the Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester, when I visited in 2015.

Upcoming Books, Exhibitions, and Events for November 2024
So… it’s now November and autumn seems to have decided to skip visiting Texas this year (other than for a few days, which we not-so-lovingly call “false fall” around here).
It’s a pretty light month for book news, but here is a title I missed when compiling last month’s round-up – Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots by Jade Scott. It came out at the end of October in the UK and will be released in February in the US.
And here is one other book that I previously highlighted when it was released in the UK back in the spring, Estelle Paranque’s Thorns, Lust, and Glory: The Betrayal of Anne Boleyn which will be out on November 12 in the US:
And that’s all I have for this month!
