Why did Joseph Montgolfier push a sheep in a basket off a tower? Whose Kevlar-lined umbrella could break tables? Who was assassinated on Waterloo Bridge with a ricin-tipped brolly?
Take some time out with Marion Rankine, author of Brolliology: A History of the Umbrella in Life and Literature, as she presents five facts that you may or may not have known about umbrellas.
From early aeronautical experiments to a murderous Jewish proverb, Rankine hops across the long and surprising history of umbrellas in life, art and books. Taken from her new book Brolliology, published by Melville House — a kaleidoscopic and curious tour with a delightful and curious guide.
