This curious bucket was recently included as a ‘Mystery Object’ on the blog, Georgian London. Written by Lucy Inglis, it’s a terrific site that’s received various awards including ‘History Website of 2009’ from the online readers of History Today Magazine and the 2009 Cliopatria Award for ‘Best Individual Blog’ and ‘Best New Blog’. Inglis is, in her own words, particularly interested in “the immigrant population and the artisan communities of London during the 18th century, as well as day to day trivia and the more bizarre aspects of London life three centuries ago.” Topics range from Huguenots in London, to counterfeit coins, to menstruation, to fan etiquette. I found Georgian London through Dr. Crystal Lake’s blog, a fine example incidentally of an individual scholar’s website. –C.H.
