Angus Trumble's 1685 in Retrospect One Year. One Page. Bishop Sparrow of Norwich died, and Bishop Lloyd of Peterborough was sent to take his place. Thomas White replaced Lloyd, while Bishop Lake of Bristol was translated to Chichester, seven years vacant. Meanwhile, Bishop Ken went to Bath and Wells to fill the shoes of Bishop Mews, who had gone to Winchester the year before. In other words, all was as might be expected in the Church of England.” Angus Trumble pilots through the major and the minor of 1685, from the rise and fall of the ill-selected sixth Dalai Lama in Tibet to the sunset of legally sanctioned witchcraft executions in Iceland and England, from the depths of malaria-ridden estuaries to astronomical observations of the Southern Cross. A regular feature. Angus Trumble is Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art. Previously, he was Curator of European Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia. His exhibition "Love & Death: Art in the Age of Queen Victoria" toured throughout Australia and New Zealand in 2001–2002. Trumble’s most recent book is A Brief History of the Smile, published by Basic Books in 2004.
