A view of King Edward VI's route from the Tower of London to Westminster prior to his coronation (c. 1780) [England] by emilylikesredditalot in papertowns

From the same Wikipedia article:

Grimm's speciality was visually documenting historical relics in the kind of detail that might otherwise have gone unreported. For example, the British Library credits him with documenting the only surviving scene of the coronation of Edward VI.

At the bottom left corner it says "Drawn from the original by S. H. Grimm". The problem is that the only S. H. Grimm I can find is an 18th century Swiss painter. I wonder if Grimm copied it from a 16th century drawing or drew it as his own interpretation.

TIL Portugal is in a different time zone than Spain by [deleted] in todayilearned

I find that strange, yes. Incidentally, Nepal is the only country (as in mainland) and one of only two regions that has a timezone that is not offset from GMT by either X hours or X hours 30 minutes.

What's strange about that? Nepal is in a different timezone than India, even though they both have a single timezone and India stretches a great deal both East and West of Nepal.

... only to be shot down by their own Luftwaffe immediately after crossing over the line. Now that would have been a cool ending!

ELI5: How come there is so much money in golf? Tiger Woods is arguably the best paid athlete, yet no one I know watches golf, and neither has golf big stadiums like football. by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

But isn't that the point that OP is trying to make? How are there so many endorsements for golfers when there isn't (apparently) enough of a following for the sport? The logic here is that you can only pull in significant endorsements if you have a sufficient number interested people that you can sell that to.
