Visiting Whitby with Mina Murray

I thought it might be fun to add some photos to Mina's descriptions of Whitby. All photos from geograph.org, mostly from about 10 years ago. In some ways it hasn't changed much since 1897!

"The little river, the Esk, runs through a deep valley, which broadens out as it comes near the harbour."

"A great viaduct runs across, with high piers, through which the view seems somehow further away than it really is."

"The houses of the old town—the side away from us—are all red-roofed, and seem piled up one over the other anyhow, like the pictures we see of Nuremberg."

"Right over the town is the ruin of Whitby Abbey, which was sacked by the Danes"

"Between it and the town there is another church, the parish one, round which is a big graveyard, all full of tombstones."

"The harbour lies below me, with, on the far side, one long granite wall stretching out into the sea, with a curve outwards at the end of it, in the middle of which is a lighthouse. A heavy sea-wall runs along outside of it. On the near side, the sea-wall makes an elbow crooked inversely, and its end too has a lighthouse."

"At the end of it is a buoy with a bell, which swings in bad weather, and sends in a mournful sound on the wind." (I'm amazed that's still there).

"The steps are a great feature on the place. They lead from the town up to the church, there are hundreds of them—I do not know how many—and they wind up in a delicate curve; the slope is so gentle that a horse could easily walk up and down them."

And a final bonus - Mina doesn't mention anything about the train she arrived on, but it might have looked a bit like this:

(OK this locomotive is from 1937, but close enough)

La Mode illustrée, no. 25, 24 juin 1906, Paris. Toilette de louisine. Modèle de Drecoll. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Description de la gravure coloriée:

La jupe très ample, de cette toilette louisine bleu saxe, est bordée d'un volent composé d'une tête à plis creux montés par des fronces. La jupe formant le corselet à la taille est froncée à intervalles réguliers, les fronces sont diminuées de hauteur dans le dos pour former un pli Watteau. Ou monte le corsage sur un empiècement en tulle point d'esprit encadrant une guimpe à col droit faite en tuile et agrémentée de motifs de guipure. Le devant et le dos froncés sont retenus dans un biais de louisine souligné d'un volant de dentelle; on complète le corsage par une bande d'étoffe figurant un boléro gansé orné de tulle.

Manche demi-longue terminée par un volant de dentelle d'où s'échappe un petit bouffant en tulle plissé.

Le devant de la jupe est garni de 11 noeuds en louisine avec boucles de nacre.

—

The very full skirt of this saxony blue Louisine dress is edged with a flounce made up of a head with box pleats mounted by gathers. The skirt forming the corselet at the waist is gathered at regular intervals, the gathers are reduced in height in the back to form a Watteau pleat. Or mount the bodice on a yoke in point d'esprit tulle framing a straight-necked wimple made in tile and embellished with guipure motifs. The gathered front and back are held in a louisine bias trimmed with a lace flounce; the bodice is completed with a strip of fabric depicting a braided bolero adorned with tulle.

Half-long sleeve finished with a lace ruffle from which a little pleated tulle puff escapes.

The front of the skirt is trimmed with 11 louisine knots with mother-of-pearl buckles.

Animal of the Day!

Western Pygmy Blue (Brephidium exilis)

(Photo by Renee Grayson)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Southwestern United States; Central America

Size (Weight/Length)- 2 cm

Diet- Nectar; Tree sap

Cool Facts- The western pygmy blue is the smallest butterfly in North America. With a wingspan of 20 millimeters, it can be hard to get from flower to flower. To bypass their small size, males create territories they protect fiercely from other western pygmy blues. Only females are welcomed to eat nectar on the off chance they are willing to mate with the male. These butterflies eat the nectar of hundreds of different species of flowers simply due to their generalist feeding habit and large range. As a result, the western pygmy blue is an essential pollinator for wildflowers and cactus.

Rating- 12/10 (It’s tough to be a bug.)
