Woo! Smashing! Thank you!

The day job got me thinking about the history of prisons, especially during the Great War. So I thought I’d do some secondary reading

Why, thank you!

has anyone done a #histmed or #histSTM study of changes to representations of health/medicine/science in the ladybird books?
On a small scale feels like an amazing ug diss project, or even something smaller than that with just a few books.

Hubert would quickly realise that “I say! What an impressive bustle! Your b*m does indeed look big in it!” was not the correct way to engage ladies in conversation.

Gosh! A new one for me! Thank you!

Something used in ophthalmology?
