I am, as is my custom, browsing an old catalogue, and chuckling at how utterly gay or otherwise suspect pretty much anything looks when you're a bit tired and utterly gay.
This is an illustration from a serial novel from 1903 and apparently they're talking about a man. Apparently! 😆

#Ephemera #Historical #AndTheyWereRoommates

A lovely little illustration from an old magazine, yellowed and faint. In it two women are looking at each other in a very coy and playful fashion. A woman in a white lingerie dress, a sort of columnar and frothy affair, is standing up with her fists holding the back of her skirt, like she's attempting not to touch anything else. A woman in black, with a far less frothy but also decorated and columnar dress with a swish of a fish tail shaped train... Is bodily hanging onto the former, hand on her shoulder, smiling up at her and pointing a finger at her, in the fashion of someone playfully extracting a promise. It looks quite flirty and intimate to modern eyes. Under them the text: "What, promise to obey Kenney?"

Did you know that the city of #Vienna has vectorized the 19th century #historical #cadastral #maps for the entire current municipal area and published it as OpenData (CC-BY-SA)?😲 I didn't and only learned just this weekend about it in the context of an invitation to the university of Vienna. So much amazing #hgis data out there to discover. A huge thank you to the Vienna urban archeology as curator of the data 👍 below you see my quick and dirty #qgis rendering
