I mentioned to a few folks that I was going from the conference to Paris to see my dad’s last official concert before he retires (plenty of caveats in that phrase)

Stopped off at the British Library to stare at these for a while. Still my favourite form of #dataviz - a fitting between two worlds transition!

Musical manuscript by Handel

Music manuscrit - Mozart

Music manuscript - Elgar

And I also enjoyed these! A musical card game and an early comic of sorts in Sheare’s Bible.

Every day a school day!

Pack of musical playing cards from 18th c

Open page from Sheare's Bible

On the train home again. Totally mad itinerary but absolutely worth it.
