Lord Kitchener was chosen as the face of the recruitment posters for Britain at the outbreak of World War I because of his Victorian masculinity, war hero status and position of Secretary of State for War. . Kitchener did not live until the end of the war. While travelling on board the HMS Hampshire on a diplomatic mission to Russia in 1916, the warship hit a mine laid by a German U-Boat. The HMS Hampshire sank with a loss of 737 and only 12 crew survived. . The famous poster was designed by graphic artist Alfred Leete first appearing on the cover of London Opinion magazine in 1914. Leete also regularly contributed to Punch, Tatler and the Strand magazines. . #FieldMarshall #LordKitchener #Kitchener #BritishArmy #FirstWorldWar #WesternFront #YourCountryNeedsYou #CharacterDesign #Illustration #Propaganda #Ballylongford #AlfredLeete #GraphicDesign #GraphicArtist #LondonOpinionMagazine #GraphicDesigner #Drawing #ww1 #WestonMuseum #ScapaFlow (at Scapa Flow Visitor Centre & Museum)

Mozart started composing at the age of five and at that age was already competant as a professional musician on the keyboard and the violin. At age six he was taken on a grand tour around Europe, where he and his older sister would perform as child prodigies.

Anne Bonny was a notorious Irish pirate in the Carribean. She married Captain 'Calico Jack' Rackham and became a member of his crew alongside another well known female pirate, Mary Read. . When Rackham and his crew were targeted by privateers hunting down pirates, it was Bonny and Read who fought off the attack as the men were too drunk to resist. Bonny's last words to Rackham were said to be "Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hang'd like a dog." At their trial Bonny and Read were both given a stay of execution because they were pregnant - known as 'pleading their bellies'. Read died in prison but Bonny disappeared. . There are many theories on what happened to her, but it is said that with the intervention of her father, she was released and moved to Charles Town, South Carolina, where she married a respectable local, had a large family with ten children and lived into her 80s. Others say she returned to piracy.... . #AGeneralHistoryofthePyrates #AnneBonny #MaryRead #Kinsale #CountyCork #Pirate #JackRackham #BlackSails #ClaraPaget #Revenge #Nassau #IrishAmerican #18thCentury #GoldenAgeOfPirates #BeMorePirate #HistoryFacts #illustration #joysticksnsliders #CharacterDesign #PotionPictures #CharacterAnimation #LoveHistory #Instahistory #HistoryGeek #FunFact #HistoryNerd #HistoryLesson #CharlesTown #SouthCarolina (at Nassau, New Providence)

Marie Curie developed the theory of radiactivity and discovered two elements, polonium and radium. As radium gave off a faint light, she was thought to have used a sample as a night light. She never seemed to have realised the damaging effects of radiation exposure and is believed to have died due to her long term exposure. Her notebooks and papers are still radioactive and are now kept in lead lined boxes. Anyone wishing to view them must wear protective clothing. . #WomenInScience #MarieCurie #MarieCurieSkłodowska #Radium #Polonium #Radiation #Warsaw #Pantheon #NobelPrize #HistoryFacts #illustration #joysticksnsliders #CharacterDesign #PotionPictures #Animation #LoveHistory #Instahistory #Historygram #FunFact #HistoryNerd #HistoryLesson (at Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie)

Newton was investigating the nature of light and optics when he decided to experiment on himself. He details in his notebook how he inserted a bodkin, (a long flat needle), into his eyesocket to “as neare to backside of my eye as I could”. . The effect was seeing dark circles, and helped Newton effectively 'map' how light hit his retina as an inverted representation of the real world. .
