I don't presently have a better file than this horribly compressed one which I filched from my own FB, but seeing @gorangligovic.bsky.social's recent posts reminded me of it.

Am in London with extra time to kill this afternoon and almost stopped by the Wallace.

Aw... It's one of my very favourite places.

We had a book of arms & armor when I was a kid that I used to flip through constantly. Thrilling to visit Wallace for the first time and see so many of the items there.
