C.H.L. George is blogging about the research for her 2005 PhD thesis at Topical Portrait Prints, 1660-1714. George’s topic is, as you may have guessed from the title, topical portrait print advertisements from London newspapers in the 17th and 18th centuries. George provides information on specific advertisements and collections consulted for the thesis and talks about the benefits of blogging a PhD after graduating. (Namely, the opportunity to reflect and reevaluate your work.)

Ah, I acutally didn’t know what you were getting at, until I read my post again. I mean to leave out any gender-specific pronouns, but it turns out I missed one.
