How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
August 19th through history
The standard raised at Glenfinnan
On August 19th 1745 Charles Edward Stuart raised his father’s standard at the head of Loch Shiel at Glenfinnan, with rather more clan support than the government had expected and rather less than he had promised his French backers. Edinburgh fell to him within a month and his army reached Derby by December, about 120 miles from London. Culloden followed in April, and with it the end of the Jacobite cause.
The French government presented the daguerreotype process to the world on August 19th 1839 as a free gift, which was widely admired. The gift did not extend to England and Wales, where a patent had quietly been secured days earlier, so that British photographers spent the next few years paying licence fees their French counterparts did not.
On August 19th 1960 the dogs Belka and Strelka went into orbit aboard Sputnik 5 and came back alive the next day, along with forty mice, two rats and a quantity of plants. One of Strelka’s puppies was later given to the Kennedys, an act of Cold War diplomacy conducted entirely through a spaniel-sized parcel.
Orville Wright, who with his brother Wilbur built and flew the first successful powered aeroplane, lived to 1948 and saw aircraft cross the Atlantic, carry armies and break the sound barrier, all within one lifetime that had begun on August 19th 1871. Coco Chanel, founder of the fashion house that still bears her name, was born in 1883, Bill Clinton, the former US president, in 1946 and Matthew Perry, the actor best known for playing Chandler in Friends, in 1969.
Born on August 19th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Bill Clinton and Coco Chanel — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
Gift ideas for a August 19th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
