Ever seen an ‘exploded plan’ before? 💥 Generally known as 'laid-out wall elevations', they were a popular architectural drawing format in the eighteenth century, allowing the often extravagant interior decorative regime to be shown on one sheet of paper! ✍️
ALT An architectural drawing of four wall elevations of an elegant green ballroom, with the walls displayed as if they have been pushed out flat from the central floor plan of the room.

I'm aware that these notices are now going out to academics who are the life blood of goldsmiths, and brilliant teachers and researchers. This could be any of us and we all need to fight this. #NotADoneDeal
Solidarity to all our brilliant colleagues at @GoldsmithsUCU today. What a cruelly stupid and unnecessary ordeal you've been put through by a short-sighted management.
Le Champ de Drap D'Or, engraved by James #Basire during #Blake's apprenticeship, is I think the subject that required the invention of a new paper size. @JulieLong18thC, great to hear about the letter! imagine finding such a print folded in a book

So I also learned that Sing a Song of Sixpence has a version where children are baked in the pie instead of birds, and Ladybird, Ladybird has a more blunt and unforgiving ending.
The book is Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, c.1744

Happy Dalloway Day! 'Looking into all those trees' outside my office window @birkbeck_arts today in 2024, just like Virginia #Woolf did in 1922. A chance to reflect on the conditions of thinking and writing a reflective practice initiative by Lizzie Bennett & @RSLiterature – at Camden Town, London
Congratulations, @martin_eve!
Really delighted to have been awarded the 2024 #AUPresses StandUP Award, particularly as I have been a challenging voice. It is possible, though, to advocate for open access while valuing the labour of publishing. aupresses.org/news/martin-pa…
