Hi @TfL. I have found this bunch of keys this morning on a Windrush line train to Highbury & Islington. Is there any way you could help me find their owner? Thank you.

Another delightful discovery here at @HoughtonLib: one of the Punch's pocket books came with a volume containing original sketches by Leech, including a drawing of the 1853 opening page. Spot the differences!
The amazing finding of the day is that Harvard's @HoughtonLib holds no fewer than three collections of Punch's Pocket Book, plus many isolated volumes!

Wonderful @PathfootPress printing workshop this afternoon, with the knowledgeable @ScotsAntiquary and his interns.
We even got to use the beautiful Columbian press, and this is the result! #RSVP2024
