So the archivist at the SFMTA Photo Archive was able to help me dig this up! I absolutely love this photo. However, the archive doesn't have much detail on it. The description for the photo says "Copy Photograph of Bicycle Riders on a Tandem Bicycle with a Baby Seat Likely in Golden Gate Park | Date Unknown" (though, not sure how unknown that date is given the "Date Taken" metadata for the photo says "31 December 1899" 😅 ).

I would love to get a better idea of the location where this photo was taken. I also assumed it was Golden Gate Park even before reading the description, but am not sure where in the park a path like this would have been located (if it's even actually in Golden Gate Park!).

edit: oh I should add tags lol (I have no idea what tags to use)

A scan of a black and white photo from ~1899 showing people cycling along a park path. The main focus of the photo is a young couple riding two separate but interconnected bicycles. Between their bicycles is a baby seat with an infant sitting in it. There are other people walking their bicycles in the background, and other people standing near or on the path.

🔴 🇬🇧 **Populism and the Social History of British Anti-Slavery**

Ryan Hanley

“_In the United Kingdom, the abolition of the slave trade and slavery holds a special place in national identity narratives, largely thanks to over a century of celebratory historiography, from the mid-nineteenth century to about the mid-twentieth. While this “Whig tradition” has long since fallen from favor among historians, it enjoys an uncanny afterlife among a certain cross section of right-wing populists._”

Frances Talbot, Countess of Morley wrote a poem on her journey from Longleat to Bath.

"The poem was the result of a breakfast row around 1820, where Lady Morley argued that writing rhyming verse was easy. She decided to prove her point by crafting a poem on her way to Bath, ensuring that every other line rhymed with Longleat."

#hörenswert !
„Von der Wut zur Bewegung“ nennt das #WürttembergischeLandesmuseum seine erste große Ausstellung zu 500 Jahre
#Bauernkriege – und fragt: Wie kommt es zu Protesten? Kann man die psychosoziale Dynamik der Aufstände von 1524/25 mit #Friedensbewegung, #Klimastreik oder #Stuttgart21 vergleichen?

Die Historikerin #LyndalRoper erforscht die Geschichte der Bauernkriege unter dem Titel „Für die Freiheit“. Zuvor schrieb sie eine Biografie über #MartinLuther. Auf dessen Thesen beriefen sich die Aufständischen vor 500 Jahren für ihre Selbstermächtigung. Bevor Luther sie als „mörderische Rotten“ verteufelte. #SWRKultur #SWRKulturGespräch #Bauernkrieg #Histodon #Landschaft #historischeGeographie #historicalgeography

📝 Lost in comptabilité (1)
Un nouveau billet sur mon carnet Hypotheses, où j'essaie d'expliquer pourquoi les comptabilités sont une source passionnante... notamment pour comprendre les grandes transformations de l'écrit et de l'administration à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Des papetiers sur le PôLost in comptabilité (1)Les historien.nes se passionnent souvent pour des documents que la plupart des gens regardent avec un ennui profond. Déclarations fiscales, contrats de location, accord de société,… mais aussi par exemple, livres de compte ! Ces dernières semaines, je me suis plongée dans la très riche documentation comptable de Bologne au Moyen Âge. Croyez-le ou non, […]
