I stayed and heard Alderman Barker’s case of his being abused by the Council of Ireland, touching his lands there; all I observed there is the silliness of the King, playing with his dog all the while, and not minding the business... --Diary of Samuel Pepys, 4 September 1667
Portraits of Charles II and his family with the dogs that would come to be called Cavalier King Charles Spaniels after him
In order: Charles as an infant; Charles with his sister Mary and brother James; Charles as king; his sister Mary; his wife Catherine of Braganza; his sister Henrietta; his mistress Louise de Kerouaille; James Beauclerk, his youngest son by Nell Gwyn; his nephew James, Prince of Wales
#doggos#stuarts#portraiture#Imma guess they painted the Jameses there with the dogs to emphasize their connections to Charles#Maybe Catherine too#but at least Beauclerk's dogs are happy to be there#Catherine and Francis Edward's dogs are having a straight-up bad time#omg Henrietta's dog is wearing lil hoop earrings#Catherine and Louise both have their hands in streams of water which symbolizes something or other I forget

5 details from the funeral scene that I think about too much
dissecting the funeral scene in The Gilded Age and why it told us more about Anne and Patrick’s family life than any other moment in season 1
I’ve been rewatching the first four episodes like a maniac waiting for season 2 to come along, and recently I’ve noticed a few too many little details that normal (speak: sane) people may have not caught onto that I thought were worth pointing out.
1. The children.
The funeral scene is the only one where we see the Morris children in the entirety of the show. Anne mentions the kids towards the end of episode 3, saying that “Will is upstairs” and “Louise is on her way” moments before Patrick takes his life. Patrick then proceeds to praise them and their family life, and what good children Anne has managed to raise (all to her getting suspicious that something must be wrong - which in itself is a big enough implication to dissect in a different post). Up until the opening scene of episode 4 we don’t know how old the children are, only the blood-stained picture in Patrick’s room, right before the credits roll at the end of episode 3 gives us a hint that Louise is the older sibling, that’s all.
Then, we see them at the funeral. And I have so much respect for whatever those two extras (never found out their names, but shout-out to those two!!) did playing those kids for a few seconds. Will is clearly in shock, completely dissociating (considering he was the one who was upstairs to find Patrick dead on the floor before Anne could rush up the stairs… yeah…). Like, that child is going THROUGH IT.
I fully love the little attention to making them seem grown-up but clearly they aren’t. Will with the cane and hat, looking like he cosplayed as an adult (especially with all the other men around him wearing similar attire). Louise has the same hairstyle and stance as Anne and you can just see this little girl trying to be like her mother. It’s so headcanon but this moment truly proves that Anne was completely idolised as this unbreakable force in Louise’s life, that this child is even trying to keep it together after her father died, and it’s just so gut-wrenching because Anne clearly can’t keep it together.
2. White carnation.
It’s a short frame, barely recognisable. But the only flower laid at Patrick’s grave is the one Anne puts on top of the coffin. White carnation. While carnations are a pretty traditional flower for funerals, white carnations in particular convey deep sorrow. As they’re usually linked to innocence and purity, as well as loyal love, they were used to mourn children gone too soon; to mourn those gone under circumstances that were not in their hands. The fact that Anne chose white carnation, rather than red carnation (which is the traditional pick for a widow as it symbolises passionate and admirable love), shows just how much she was convinced that Patrick’s untimely death was not his fault nor an act tainting his name. And her silence paired with the white carnation is the perfect counterpart to the later rather loud comment by a family member on how he doesn’t even deserve a grave to begin with.
3. The Fanes and their relation to the family.
When the camera pans higher above the crowd, we see the other people that attended the funeral. Right next to Anne and the children are two other couples, the rest of the family is opposite them, with the grave separating the two sides.
With the back and forth between the funeral scene and the scene at the town hall of George and the aldermen looking at the blueprints which takes place simultaneously, it adds meaning that Charles Fane, an alderman himself, skipped the meeting to attend his friend’s funeral. (We’re gonna overlook how quickly Charles threw Patrick’s legacy under the bus after finding himself in a similarly tough financial situation).
The more notable thing however, is the fact that Aurora and Charles are standing right next to Patrick’s immediate family - Anne and the children - implying their connection to the family was closer than simply friendship. They would be standing farther away… if they weren’t tied to Anne and the children, e.g. by being the kids’ godparents. This theory would explain not only why they’re standing where they’re standing but also why later, while everybody else quite literally turns their back on Anne and the children during the departure, Aurora and Charles take the carriage right behind theirs, walking with them. It also explains why Charles was willing to aid Patrick if his debt hadn’t been that big of a financial ruin, and (without the queercoding etc) why Aurora’s betrayal is such a devastating revelation to Anne.
4. Aurora being the only one to look at Anne, and the only one to follow her.
Just as I mentioned, Aurora and Charles are the only ones to walk behind the Morrises after the funeral. The small crowd dissolves in all directions but throughout the whole scene nobody looks at Anne or acknowledges her grief. Quite the contrary: from the distant side of the family, a ginger woman spends the only dialogue of the scene shittalking Patrick and how he didn’t deserve to be buried in consecrated ground (which earns her quite the deathglare from Aurora). (quick psa: I DO believe that the woman is supposed to be Anne’s “unbearable aunt Susan” from episode 2, which Patrick mentions as they walk up the stairs to the Russell House, right after Anne makes the Dido reference).
I'll let the GIFs speak for themselves - cause the cinematography is insanely heavy with implications of loyalty and support.
also, Aurora looking at Anne, then looking at Charles, then initiating them following Anne and the children?? (I am madly sobbing)
5. Anne losing her balance.
The entire scene, Anne spends in devastation, don’t get me wrong. But it’s quiet devastation. She doesn’t say a word, you don’t see her cry, you barely see her face as the veil covers all her features. She doesn’t turn to lean on anybody, she doesn’t sob or embrace her children. Even though she’s grieving, she’s very much still the poised woman of high society, and it shows. Until, right at the end of the scene, she walks over to the carriage with the children and finally let’s go. As she’s about to get into the carriage, she loses her balance, ever so slightly, and a gloved hand comes to her help, steadying her. Without a word, she tries to overplay it, gets in, and lowers her head. Her children sit across from her.
totally not gonna put the little not-so fun fact here that this was the final filming day of the entirety of the first season and that katie and kelli wrapped together - totally not gonna do that and add to the devastation that this was the last scene they filmed together before katie was written out of the show

"Filmmaker Monika Treut said something similar to what I'm about to say, which is that if people are starving and you give them a cracker they're not going to say, 'Gee, this cracker is limited. It's not what I deserve. I deserve a full meal.' As a feminist, I think it's pathetic that people want to cheer Thelma and Louise, a film so narrow in its vision, so limited. But I hear that from black people about black films that I critique: This is all we have. So, we've got to celebrate something magical and transformative in a film and at the same time discuss it critically."

London 01
During the late 16th and 17th centuries, London became a key center of international trade and banking. The city’s population increased to more than six million by the end of the nineteenth century. After World War I, London’s population began to fall. In 1950, the population stood at just over three and a half million. It is now estimated that the city’s population is around 6.5 million.
The history of London stretches back to the Romans who founded the city. In the fifth century, it was a small town, but it declined after repeated invasions by Anglo-Saxons. In the eighth century, Londinium was the capital of the Kingdom of Essex. In the ninth century, it was a thriving medieval port. In the fourteenth century, the port’s development led to the growth of London as a European hub for the distribution of goods. This contributed to its emergence as the capital of England. Click for more information
In the fifteenth century, London’s textile industry helped to drive the city’s rapid growth. Its central location facilitated the expansion of its maritime trade, which continued with the Stuarts. It became the world’s leading insurance market, and its financial services centered on its Royal Exchange. In 1734, the Bank of England moved its headquarters to a site on the south side of the Royal Exchange. The area was subsequently renovated to its historic form.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the boundaries of the City of London expanded, and by the sixteenth century, they extended beyond the old walled city. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed much of the medieval core, but there are still remnants of the older historic fabric. A major rebuilding program occurred in the decades after the war. Some areas retained the older character of smaller buildings, but in others, street patterns and the size of buildings were changed.
In the mid-seventeenth century, London’s population had reached more than 500,000. In 1130, King Henry I granted the people of London control over the county of Middlesex. The county was then divided into 29 electoral units, which were governed by a London County Council. In 1888, the county was regarded as part of the City of London.
The modern City of London is made up of twenty-five wards, each represented by an alderman. These wards choose the Lord Mayor, who is in turn chosen by the Common Hall, the council’s administrative body. The Corporation also has responsibilities for land outside the city’s boundaries. The City of London is also a police authority. The Metropolitan Police Service is based in New Scotland Yard, while the Hampstead Heath Constabulary is also run by the City of London.
The current Lord Mayor is Vincent Keaveny. The city has a rich heritage and many fine Victorian and Edwardian buildings. A landmark is the Mansion House, which is the official residence of the Lord Mayor. The city’s oldest church, St Paul’s Cathedral, dominates the skyline. In the sixteenth century, the city was governed by a council of sheriffs, which is now replaced by a Commission of Lieutenancy. A fantastic read

Historically, African Americans have been “displaced [and] rendered ungeographic” by white supremacist constructions of space that established Black Americans as “others” [...]. Mapping, by its very definition, is world making [...]. Mapping and its relationship with Black Geographies reflects this dialectic between control and resistance. On the one hand, cartographic practices have long created spatial representations that participate in controlling people of color and how they are valued and treated socially. [...] Maps and spaces created through cartographic practices have been weaponized further in the name of structural racism to regulate and disadvantage communities of color. Such attempts include partitioning and exploiting African places and peoples for the sake of empire building (Bassett 1994), surveilling and controlling enslaved communities on plantation landscapes (Randle 2011), designing an architecture of segregated public places (Weyeneth 2005), and processes of redlining, urban renewal/removal, and gentrification that have written many Black neighborhoods off the map [...]. On the other hand, a Black Geographies perspective recognizes the possibility of alternative constructions and knowledges of space and place, thus highlighting “the various ways Black communities create their own unique political practices and senses of place” (Bledsoe et al. 2017, 8) [...].
-------
Bledsoe and Wright (2019) argue that Black geographic expressions exhibit “inherent pluralities,” prompting us to consider “the different, sometimes conflicting, manners in which movements and individuals envision and enact Black liberation” (420). Thus, it is important to recognize that alternative knowledge systems and counter-mapping practices of Black communities are not monolithic [...].
This idea certainly motivated famed civil rights leader W.E. B. Du Bois when he and a group of students at Atlanta University prepared over 60 vibrantly colored maps, graphs, charts, and tables for the Paris Exposition of 1900 (Calloway et al. 1899). He sought to de-legitimize prevailing racist stereotypes of Black people held by white European and American audiences. Du Bois and his team “deployed the western methods of cartography [and visualization] that had been used to marginalize and exploit Black life” [...].
Later, emerging from the Harlem Renaissance, Black illustrator and photographer, Louise Jefferson would produce a series of pictorial maps of the US from the 1930s to the 1960s that included African American people and places frequently ignored by a racist nation and publishing industry (Yessler and Alderman, 2021). While the antiracist cartographies of Du Bois and later Jefferson were intended to reach and affect the wider white society, other forms of counter-mapping serve goals internal to Black communities. [...]
SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) workers of the 1960s engaged in conventional cartography, such as the choropleth county-level mapping of racial inequalities in income and education. Yet, the civil rights organization also developed a creative method of counter-mapping the spatial networks of white power and racial capital that supported discrimination within communities with the hopes of identifying pressure points to exploit through social mobilization [...].
[M]uch of the counter-mapping behind anti-lynching was about shaping public opinion and gaining the support of elected officials, creating what Tyner (2019, 27) calls “persuasive mapping.” A foundational step in building a national database came in 1882 when the Chicago Tribune [...] began combing local newspapers across the country to compile and publish an annual count of lynching murders. The newspaper recorded lynchings by date and place (city & state) along with victim name, alleged offense, and race/nationality [...]. The NAACP published some of its first maps showing the national distribution of lynching deaths in the book Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889–1918 [...]. The maps, by coming at the front of the volume, helped frame the national scale of the problem of mob violence before the civil rights organization presented its full study. [...]
Probing deeper into the NAACP archives, Dando (2018) discusses another compelling example of Black persuasive cartography; a map entitled “3436 blots of shame” that depicts the number and location of lynchings from 1885 to 1922. The map was drawn by “Miss Madeline Allison,” secretary to W.E.B. Du Bois during his time as founding editor of the NAACP magazine The Crisis. [...]
The Tuskegee Institute’s Department of Records and Research, headed by Black sociologist Monroe Work from 1908 to 1938, also saw the importance that data analysis could play in anti-lynching advocacy [...] and published lynching statistics in the widely used Negro Year Book, an encyclopedic reference on Black life that included several maps. Work contributed to the production of a now iconic map showing lynching deaths in the US from 1901 to 1931.

If you’re still looking for fic ideas: jaskier poses nude for paintings as a side gig, and Gerald has absolutely no clue until he saw one of the paintings for sale on the street or in some alderman or mayor’s house when he’s trying to negotiate a contract
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea, I had to giggle as I read it, I had to giggle as I thought about what I could write and I giggled the whole way through writing it. I hope I don’t disappoint.
If you, lovely anon, or anybody else have any more ideas/prompts for me, just send me an ask, please! This makes so much fun!
read on ao3
----------
“I saw a statue of you today in the mayor's manor,” Geralt told Jaskier upon returning with a wicked grin on his face. With a small surprised intake of breath Jaskier turned away, “I know I am beloved by the masses, but it would be new to me that they are building statues for me now,” he replied.
Geralt chuckled amused, “it was not really of you, but of the mayor.”
With an indignant huff Jaskier replied, “the mayor is at least 80 years old, Geralt, are you insulting me? Do you want to tell me that I look old?”
Geralt, still grinning, “no, calm down. The mayor has a marble statue standing in the middle of his hall of, as he says, himself in his prime. Butt-naked and with way much muscles than that prick ever had.”
Jaskier turned to the witcher, brows furrowed, “and what made you say it is a statue of me?”
The witcher told him how he had waited in the hall of the mayor’s manor for his payment for ridding the local forest of a fiend. The hall had been decorated with paintings of old men, probably some forefathers of the mayor and there had been a white marble statue in the middle of the room, bathed in sunlight.
“And there was something about the statue that reminded me of you,” he said.
Jaskier just looked at him, one hand on his hip, head slightly tilted, lifting his eyebrows as to beckon him to continue. And Geralt burst out in laughter, pointing at him.
“The statue had that exact posture!”
This was the poise Jaskier normally did when he was flirting with someone, or when he was scolding Geralt for something stupid like using plain soap for washing his hair instead of the scented one Jaskier had given him.
What Geralt did not tell Jaskier was, that not only the posture reminded him of his bard, but the broadness of the marble shoulders, the long beautiful fingers on the hip and the curve of the ass, even how the hair was depicted, the delicate locks at the base of the skull tickling the neck were eerily like Jaskier’s. Geralt had by now seen Jaskier naked often enough. The bard was in no way shy and sharing campsites and small inn-rooms made it hard not to get the occasional glimpse of the other. But of course Geralt had never looked that closely at the naked bard.
“The only thing remotely looking like the mayor was the face,” the witcher said, “he had probably some young handsome lad pose for the sculptor and made him put his ugly face on the statue.”
Geralt did not notice Jaskier blushing as he turned away.
------------------------------
A few weeks later Geralt had begrudgingly accepted to accompany Jaskier to a feast at some small court. He had instantly forgotten what was celebrated and was regretting his promise to come as he was fumbling with the uncomfortably stiff and tight new doublet Jaskier made him wear. As usual he was to protect the bard in case any cuckolded spouse was to run into them.
“Oh, there you are,” Geralt heard a sweet voice call after them. With a barely audible sigh Jaskier turned around, his showman smile plastered on his face, “Countess de Stael, as always does your beautiful smile shine brighter than the sun.” He made a low bow and accepted the hand of the woman for a delicate kiss.
“Julian, the painting is finally done,” she said, beaming widely, “do you wish to see it?”
Jaskier stole a glance at Geralt and with a gasp the Countess turned to the witcher and said, “oh, forgive me, I was so overcome with joy to see my Julian again, that I forgot all my manners.” She curtsied in Geralt's direction and offered him her hand as well, “Anne-Louise de Stael, Countess and biggest admirer of our Julian here.” She winked at the bard.
Geralt hadn’t said anything yet, just shot a look over to Jaskier as the countess curtsied and had mouthed “my Julian?” with a raised eyebrow and the hint of a smirk.
“Ah, yes,” Jaskier said with a side glance at the witcher, “if you don’t mind, I can come by tomorrow and we will have a look at the painting?”
The countess turned to Geralt again, “master witcher, I am sure you are an admirer of the fine arts as well and wish to have a look? Julian must have told you how tedious it was to pose for six days straight. But he did such a good job,” she finished dreamily.
Geralt looked at Jaskier and registered a slight blush creeping up his neck and with a wicked grin said, “I do indeed enjoy the finer arts. Let’s have a look at this painting of our Julian.”
The countess linked her arm with Geralt and steered him toward a stairwell with Jaskier in tow. They entered a light filled room and Geralt had to stifle a laugh as he saw the huge painting, higher than he was tall and wider than two times his length. Depicted in the enormous painting was Jaskier. Completely naked. Sprawled on a thick red carpet, propped up on one elbow, being fed grapes by a naked lady, probably the Countess herself. Geralt turned to Jaskier with a huge grin, seeing countless emotions battle on the handsome face, ranging from embarrassment, to appreciation and even pride.
“That is,” the bard began, but had to cough to steady his voice, “larger than I expected.”
And after a moment to Geralt he said, “the painter just did sketches when I was here.”
Geralt still grinned like a lunatic and turned to the Countess, “will you show the painting to the other guests?”
Jaskier seemed to have overcome the first wave of embarrassment and took a closer look at the artwork, starting to discuss details with the Countess and Geralt found himself also staring at the canvass. The larger than life painted bard looked relaxed and the colour of his skin almost seemed to have a golden glow. The muscled biceps were as accurately depicted as the brown hair dusting his chest. And even though it was a painting, created to be looked at, he was not sure if he should be studying the lower part of the bard’s body that closely. As he felt a blush creeping up his ears, he turned around and fled the room back to the party in search of a glass of wine. Or better a whole bottle.
