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! ✍️

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.

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
