As the famous French stateman and #diplomat Charles Maurice Talleyrand (1754-1838) said:
“Le meilleur auxiliaire d’un diplomate, c’est bien son cuisinier.”
🎧 @victorpereira a été interviewé sur le podcast Paroles d'Histoire, consacré à l'actualité des livres, de la recherche et des débats en histoire, à propos de son dernier livre "C'est le peuple qui commande. La Révolution des Œillets : 1974-1976" (Éditions du Détour).

Information gathering and securing were very important for #emdiplomacy - however, it was a thin line between legal methods and espionage. Therefore, #emdiplomats were also called honourable spies.

Mary Kay Letourneau's father, John G. Schmitz, was an ultra-conservative politician who began his political career in 1964 and successfully ran as a Republican for a seat in the legislature.
He was known for his involvement in conservative political causes and was a prominent figure in American politics. In 1982, it was revealed that he had fathered two children out of wedlock with a former student, which deeply affected Mary Kay Letourneau.

There is a paper story to this painting from 1672 waiting to be told. Meet Jan Berckheyde's "A Notary in His Office" highlighted in 5 steps - a thread for friends of #paperhistory and #mediahistory of #EarlyModernEurope, and for #histodons in general. Expect a view into the inky paper states of Europe, a paper age dealing also with waste papers, fresh paper sheets waiting to be used, a high paper demand, and some document bags literally full of used papers. Let's roll @histodons
@histodons A closer look at every administrative activity of the period offers stored and waiting fresh paper sheets. Yet unused artifacts in different trading units of the paper trade: As detail no. 4 shows, you could buy paper as single sheets or in units up to 500, in the preferred format, quality and size, by the way.
@histodons Wherever paper was used, waste paper could also be found. Here, in detail no. 5 paper leftovers, waste papers, are lying on the floor next to a used quill. The presence of fresh unused papers, written upon "used" papers, and waste papers, in one scene remind #histodons of the material life of hand-made paper in early modern Europe: it was produced, it was used, and it was recycled - often to fresh 'new' paper. #EarlyModernEurope was a paper age with #recycling rhythms.
