Speaking of spying cameras, these photos here, taken in the streets of Oslo in the 1890s, come from one such camera hidden in the buttonhole of Carl Størmer, a 19-year-old student at the Royal Frederick University.
He secretly took around 500 of these.

We had the privilege of digitising six of #CharlesDickens personal reading copies for @DickensMuseum. He used these annotated books on his reading tours 1858-1870. Find out how the digitised books will be used. @BL_Digitisation

These US daguerreotypes were taken between 1844-6 - years before the Irish Famine, the Great Exhibition & the Crimean War. Extraordinary

Did anyone get to the beach today? And was it warm enough to be there? Blackpool Beach as it was in 1840 when it was painted by David Cox.
