Welcome to Issue 5 of the Primgraph – and we have a packed issue!
This month we are exploring a lovely and unusual Baroque area – the sim of Drottningholm Palace, based around the country home of the royal family of Sweden, and set in the year 1778. Miss Ceejay Writer supplies the fascinating background to this unusual location, while Miss Therese Carfagno meets some of the residents and hears their stories, and Miss Cynster Clowes supplies a resident’s perspective.
News from around the vintage and steampunk grid provides information on various projects and plans: Mr Julian Beeswing supplies news of the Babbage Kite Festival, while Mrs Annechen Lowey has news of a rather special forthcoming Grand Tour.
There’s a fascinating account by Miss Ceejay Writer of the re-creation of Mark Twain’s study in Second Life, and Miss Riven Homewood reports on a Celebration of Steampunk for the first anniversary of the Steelhead Public Library.
Mrs Annechen Lowey has the first article in a new series on the Etiquette of the Steamlands. No aspiring Evil Scientist should be without her sage advice as to the proper form for using your Death Ray.
We have style and fashion fashion reports from Miss M0lly Dench – who has a delicious dream of Baroque fashions – and Miss Edwina Heron, who relates a rather unfortunate mistake with her instructions to her devoted manservant.
Mr Jvstin Tomorrow has supplied a review of a fascinating new novel that expands imaginatively on the lives of Mr Dickens and Mr Wilkie Collins. We have more of our classic serial, The Mysteries of London, and details of new acquisitions from the library as well as an extract from that fascinating documentary record: Henry Mayhew’s London Labour and the London Poor, building up a fascinating picture of Victorian life in a great city….
So, with no shortage of fascinating articles and beautiful illustrations, we welcome you to this fifth issue of The Primgraph.
