The Invention of the Umbrella
Four thousand years before raincoats, ancient kings used umbrellas as portable thrones of shade. Then a Persian queen figured out you could carry your own shade, a brave Englishman got laughed at in the street for using one in the rain, and a pile of leftover corset wire in 1852 finally made the umbrella stop flipping inside out.
