so there's a post on this tag saying richard clay may be a reference to henry clay fricks i can't stop thinking about his and george dynamic, it's almost if george is his andrew carneige. a cold hearted man and "sensible" one doing business together. now, i know george is mostly inspired by jay gould, but if his relationship with clay is resembling carnegie and fricks i only wonder if it could mean george is going to become a philantropist like andrew. and wouldn't that be funny if it was the case? cuz bertha is suppose to become a sufragist like alva vanderbilt. ruthless capitalists ending their life as activists...actually is so silly that i can picture jkf writing about it.

#the gilded age #george russell #richard clay #bertha russell #does this post make any sense?#i don't know and i'm sorry #this is mostly a crack post #but deep down i think a lot about this concept #and of course this a george x bertha post #george x bertha

Good morning, guess who only just put together that Richard Clay’s name is a laughably direct echo of Henry Clay Frick’s

25th March

Leasing the White Bread Meadows

The Whitebread Meadow Auction in Bourne. Source: LincsOnLine

The Monday after Palm Sunday (today in 2024), is the traditional date for the Leasing of the White Bread Meadow at Bourne in Lincolnshire. Two boys would be selected to race up and down a 100-yard road in the town while bidding to lease the large White Bread field took place. If the boys returned between bids, the auction for the meadow would end. If not, the boys would begin their race again, which made it somewhat of an open-ended affair. The auction would supply its participants with free gin, in order to keep the bidding enthusiastic and generous. In past years the auction was restricted to farmers but these days anyone can join in, with proceeds going to charity. It always had a philanthropic aspect: the event was instituted by Richard Clay who stipulated the auction in his will in 1770 as a means of raising bread for the poor of the Eastgate area of Bourne.

The event fell into abeyance but was revived in the 1990s, taking on more of the appearance of a spring folk festival. Instead of boys, volunteer middle-aged men, dressed in colourful vegetation-inspired costumes, make the run. As in former days, it all concludes in the pub afterwards with a meal of bread, cheese, onions and beer. Because of March’s unpredictable weather, however, the auction is more often than not moved to a more clement weekend in April.

The unpredictable temperatures of early spring are captured vividly in two pieces of late March weatherlore rhymes:-

‘In like a lion, out like a lamb,’

and:-

‘March comes in with adders’ heads

And goes out with peacocks’ tails.’

Revolting women, Foyles and vegan food - a perfect day out! 😊📚

Back in the pre pandemic days I used to make regular visits to London to visit galleries, shows and trawl the bookshops. They were always a source of great joy, but it’s literally years since I visited the capital and even though I ventured to Edinburgh last year, I hadn’t made it back to London. However, I had intended to get down there around the Christmas period, as there was an exhibition I…

Shakespeare Weekend

Continuing our look at The Works of Mr. William Shakespear: in ten volumes published in 1728 by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) and Dr. George Sewell (d. 1726), this week we examine Volume Four and its imprint variation on the title page. Volumes Four, Five, and Nine all include additional booksellers aside from Jacob Tonson (1655-1736).

The imprint for these three volumes reads “Printed for J. Tonson in the Strand; and for J. Darby, A. Bettesworth, and F. Clay, in Trust for Richard, James, and Bethel Wellington”. Richard Wellington Sr. was established in the London book trade during the 1700s, shortly after his death in 1715 his wife Mary assigned his stock of books over to Darby, Bettesworth, and Clay in trust for her three children. How or why Wellington was tied to only volumes four, five, and nine of Pope’s work is unknown to us.

Volume Four contains a group of Shakespearean history plays including King John, King Richard II, King Henry IV Part I, King Henry IV Part II, and King Henry. Similar to Rowe’s earlier collection, scene divisions, stage directions, dramatis personae, and full-page engravings by either French artist Louis Du Guernier (1677-1716) or Englishman Paul Fourdrinier (1698-1758) precede each play.

Pope’s editions of Shakespeare were the first attempted to collate all previous publications. He consulted twenty-seven early quartos restoring passages that had been out of print for almost a century while simultaneously removing about 1,560 lines of material that didn’t appeal to him. Some of those lines were degraded to the bottom of the page with his other editorial notes.
