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.
February 21st through history
Steam on rails, from Penydarren to Abercynon
Down the Merthyr Tramroad on February 21st 1804, Richard Trevithick’s locomotive hauled ten tons of iron, five wagons and seventy men the nine and three-quarter miles from the Penydarren ironworks to Abercynon. It took four hours and five minutes and settled a wager of five hundred guineas for the ironmaster Samuel Homfray against a sceptical neighbour. The brittle plate rails broke under the weight, the engine was put back to driving a hammer, and the railway age had to wait another twenty-five years for better track.
The Communist Manifesto was published in London on February 21st 1848, in German, from a printer’s premises in Bishopsgate. It ran to twenty-three pages in a small edition and had almost no immediate effect. Marx was twenty-nine and would spend most of the next thirty years in the Reading Room of the British Museum.
Richard Nixon became, on February 21st 1972, the first American president to set foot in the People’s Republic of China. The visit had been arranged in secret and its purpose, as much as anything, was to unsettle Moscow.
Alan Rickman ran a graphic design studio before going to RADA at twenty-six, and was well into his forties before he took his first film part, as the villain in Die Hard. He was born in Hammersmith on February 21st 1946, and Jilly Cooper, the novelist known for her romantic fiction, in 1937.
Born on February 21st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Alan Rickman and Jilly Cooper — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish.
Birthstone
Amethyst for February.
Birth flower
Violet (primary), also Primrose — most commonly cited sources agree on violet as the main February 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.
