"La Ghirlandata"; shows a woman seated plucking at a harp, surrounded by plants with two angels peering through them. 'La Ghirlandata' is one of several paintings of women playing musical instruments painted by Rossetti between 1871 and 1874 which loosely celebrate music or lyric poetry. His intense use of colour creates a brooding pictorial mood, while the picture's symbolism - although unclear - may reflect Rossetti's unhappy mental condition at this time. In an article in the 'Art Journal' in 1884 his brother William Michael Rossetti claimed that he had intended 'a fateful or deathly purport' through the dark blue flowers in the foreground, which were supposed to be the poisonous monkshood - although, 'being assuredly far the reverse of a botanist', Rossetti painted its harmless relative larkspur by mistake. The honeysuckle and roses around the top of the harp had a personal connotation of sexual attraction, while the harp itself represents music - common metaphor for love and lovemaking. The climbing plant on the right resembles a clematis - its climbing tendrilly habit perhaps symbolizing binding love.

the map of early modern london (moeml) comprises four distinct, interoperable projects. moeml began in 1999 as a digital atlas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century london based on the 1560s agas woodcut map of the city. moeml now includes an encyclopedia of early modern london people and places, a library of mayoral shows and other texts rich in london toponyms, and a forthcoming versioned edition of john stow’s a survey of london. the project consists of tei-encoded files in subversion repository, processed daily by a jenkins continuous integration server into a static alpha site. we periodically release one of these static sites under a version number (currently v.6.6) to our public-facing url (https://mapoflondon.uvic.ca). the location files use gis tags to pin data to locations on the historical agas map, which is delivered using a system based on openlayers 3.
