I want sun-block for this one.
Another sun-face but this time creepy and Riddler-esque. Any ideas on the riddle? (Novelty prize is expired)

I was thinking about chemistry and industry and it’s colonial history and assumed I’d have to do a little digging on the topic in our collections. I had no idea how obvious the subject would be; this journal is truly titled: International Review of Colonial Products and Colonial Material. It was published in France and covers the French colonies. Even though my French reading skills are lacking it’s easy to read the images like the boat at port on the cover which can easily signify foreign invaders, and the crates, abduction of indigenous goods. The colonialists in their hats choosing vehicles specialized for the conditions of the lands they inhabit. And of course, an ad for the insecticide DDT featuring an elephant. At this time, (1950′s) the French colonial empire spanned most parts of the globe from large parts of Africa, South East Asia, Oceania, South America and more.

On this day 151 years ago, 17-year-old George Tutin, an English law student, was feeling sick and stayed in bed until 10am.
We've been thoroughly enjoying paging through this newly acquired 1872 diary, which is completely filled out and contains a lot of observations about the weather. More interestingly, it also notes what he was up to academically and personally. Tutin took a lot of walks, spent most afternoons studying, translated and read Virgil, kept up with international affairs, trimmed sheep, and unfortunately seems to have gotten a lot of colds.
November 29, 1872
Being poorly I did not go to Thirsk but enjoyed the more inviting delights of bed till 10 o'clock.
February 26, 1872
A dull wet day, I got my watch-glass broken yesterday so I send it to get mended at Ripon by the postman.
June 18, 1872
Rather fine in the morning. In the afternoon a most terrible thunder storm took place as big as marble falling. We consequently did not get to Ripon Flower Show. Papa out in the evening after the storm. The Lords have made a mess of the Ballot Bill.
