I found an old letter from "John Kern" inside an old book and I'm trying to learn more. It's addressed to his sister (Mary?), mentions a book titled, "Ladies Museum," and requests flower seeds. I'm wondering whether it might be John Kern, III (1781-1842), of Philadelphia. Any historians on here? cc @histodons #philadelphia #pennsylvania #history #historians #antique
A mix of science and tradition helps restore relics in China’s Forbidden City.
@AssociatedPress reports 150 workers oversee 1.8 million relics in the museum’s collection. "They include scroll paintings, calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics — and, somewhat unexpectedly, ornate antique clocks that were gifted to emperors by early European visitors."
A nice story with some cool photos of old pianos!

"Navy veteran Michael Bryant has spent decades restoring forgotten instruments, but as he retires, his rare skills fade, leaving fewer experts to keep old player pianos alive in town."
My dad gave me this wee barometer/altimeter, made about 1890. Took it out in the Mull hills yesterday - it's as accurate, and smaller, than mobile phone GPS
. The longevity and reliability of this 130-year old technology seems inconcievable today. And no spurious precision!
