Bradley Martin Ball
Mon Apr 22 2024
To contextualize the Bradley Martin Ball of 18/97, we first need to talk about patriarch's balls. This was essentially a system set up by the infamous society arbiter Ward McAllister and many of the wealthiest old money families of New York. So think people like the Astors, the Van Rensselers, Livingstons, and Schermerhorns. These balls had the stipulation that each of the patriarch families had to invite 5 men and 4 women to the ball as a means of establishing New York society. And then it's from this group that Ward McAllister developed his list of the 400. That was the people he deemed worthy to be considered New York high society. The Martins attended their 1st Patriarchs Ball in 18/83, and soon they were on ramped into the high society as the old names were increasingly commingled with new ones. The 400, as they were called, were accustomed to very opulent gatherings. And while the Bradley Martin Ball was in that tradition, it was over the top by any measure. The idea for the Bradley Martin Ball was, according to the story, actually kind of benevolent. Once again, we have Frederick Townsend Martin's account of how the ball got its start. He wrote, quote, every year, my brother Bradley and his wife spent their winters in New York when they entertained largely. 1 morning at breakfast, my brother remarked, I think it would be a good thing if we got up to something. There seems to be a great deal of depression in trade. Suppose we sent out invitations for a concert. And pray, what good will that do? Asked my sister-in-law. The money will only benefit foreigners. No. I've a far better idea. Let us give a costume ball at so short notice that our guests won't have time to get their dresses from Paris. That will give an impetus to trade that nothing else will. Directly, missus Martin

Season. That is about one of the kids doing a project on Amelia Earhart, and she ends up doing this shadow puppet project. And her version of what happens to Amelia Earhart is so beautiful and moving. I do get choked up. You're choked up now? A 100%. It's so good. Lauren Bouchard knows what he's doing head in that show. But if you have never ever seen it, you would know that Amelia Earhart is not in the ocean because she flew away forever into the sky. And it's so beautiful and I love it. And that's what it makes you think of. Yeah. I was glad to be able to talk about a potential find related to her that like, from a different organization. I feel like we might get angry emails from people, but for a while, it seems like there was a an earhart headline about every year. And often, it seems like they were relooking at the same couple of small items that have been found on an Island, and it it I was glad to have a find by, I think as far as I know, totally unrelated group. Which I was appreciative of. One of my other notes is about John Shakespeare. Okay. Just because every time I have ever encountered John Shakespeare. Uh-huh. From the tie, like, you know, high school, college, etcetera. That has always sounded like the most made up fake ID name ever. What's your name? John Shakespeare. I for it to be John and Joan also cracks me up a little bit. John Shakespeare. As we were talking about that, of course, I also thought about the, the, the thing we talked about. I think last time of the the floor that Shakespeare might have walked on maybe. And this is no. This is definitively belonged to one of Shakespeare's relatives. We're just not sure which one. Probably sister, not father. Yeah. So, yeah. Tons of beer. My other two things listen. The Pokemon Van Gogh thing corrects

And I'm Holly Fry. This is part 2 of our regular installment of our unearth series where we talk about things that have been literally and figuratively unearthed over the last few months
Members in Canada and Greenland about the role that tattoos played in their society prior to forced acculturation. This paper, in addition to sort of a survey of all of this knowledge, also examines how the tattoos may have been made, and that includes another lengthy overview of tattooing methods through history. And it incorporates some experimental data as well from work that was carried out by 4 tattoo experts in 2020 and 2021. Machine free tattoo artist Danny Riddey of New Zealand tattooed himself and also worked with 3 other tattoo experts to create multiple versions of the same motif on his body. This motif looks kind of like a stylized fir tree or some other evergreen. The other tattoo experts included Inuit tattoo artist Maya Sialik Jacobsen of Greenland and archaeologists Aurelien Brolod and Benoit Robitay. The paper's authors compared Otzi's tattoos to the various tattoos that were done as part of this project, concluding that Otzy's tattoos were probably made with a single pointed hand poke tool made of something like bone or metal rather than through incisions. Yeah. As I understand it, incisions had been this going hypothesis before, this comparison to this tattoo project. To close out these updates, we've also got one from the archaeological site known as Must Farm, which has come up on a couple of installments of Unearthed. This was a stilt village dating to about 850 BCE, roughly 85 miles or a 136 kilometers north of modern London as the crow flies. It was destroyed by a fire only about a year after it was built. And because the burned remains of the buildings and all of their contents sank down into the riverbed, a lot of what was there is still very well preserved. Two books were published on Must Farm in March.
