A great paper from @HollyVDay at our seminar on Saturday recontextualising Richard Samuel's famous painting. Her work on memorandum books is really interesting and insightful - and beautifully illustrated. Many thanks to @saralread for capturing a sense of this.
It's happening tomorrow - Saturday 19 October! Our first in-person seminar of the year is at The Foundling Museum, London, 1 pm. All welcome to join. For directions / details see our online programme. https://t.co/Xy3yCS9ANf

The judges loved the way Holly's design mirrors the layout of a memorandum book, and that the contents also give the reader a clear sense of her research questions

@alexia_yates Even if there is no snippet view available, all books from before 1900 and many books between 1900 and 1930 can be requested. I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on how to spot those books and how to request them on my new blog. It’s an absolute lifesaver! https://t.co/IAy7XtOrAo
This is such a misguided decision -closing the Wallace Collection Library and Archive would be a huge loss to both the heritage sector, and art history as a discipline in the UK
