During WW2, Olga Lehmann's decorative murals enlivened the dour interiors of the nationwide chain of state-run 'British restaurants,' requisitioned hotels, the ministry of aircraft production and the government censorship department in Holborn. This work is from 1940.

Dear crikey. The photographer Walter Miller at work in 1912-13 while balanced precariously on a plank of wood from New York’s Woolworth Building. (I was curious about the photo’s authenticity, because we live in a world of lies, but its provenience is perfect & the likes of MOMI attests to that.)

And from @will-davies.bsky.social: ‘Could the idea of the “intellectual” be so closely tied up with the philosophy of existentialism, that its rise and fall is actually a side effect of that philosophy’s fate over the middle decades of the twentieth-century?’ willd10.substack.com/p/what-hope-...
