It's amazing, you can see a visit I made there with \u003Cb>Viviane Schwarz\u003C/b> and \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/317495.html\">blogged about here\u003C/a>. It's a couple old rooms absolutely stuffed with scrapbooks on various themes. I keep making vows to go there regularly and draw from the photos, and failing to do so. But here's a drawing I did this morning, based on a photo in a folder labelled 'Women before 1914'. Henry Bown took the photo of Louisa Jane Harradine, aged 22, born at 17 Paradise Street, London, in 1876. ...THOSE SLEEVES. And I can't quite make out what's on top of that hat, something very furry.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/rotherhithe_photo1_zpsefcf5e70-13a6fd367a.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI hope to blog a lot more about this place,  it's a sort of magic kingdom.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/rotherhithe_picture_library_zps6109375b-f93b9d519b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here to read more under the cut!-->\\r\nThe thing that gave me the kick to do the drawing this morning was seeing \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Alex_T_Smith/status/329373918051844098/photo/1\">this lovely photo and sketch\u003C/a> posted on Twitter by \u003Ca href=\"http://alextsmith.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/1948.html\">Alex T.

London\u003C/a> and I bought a few things, including these lovely books, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.tomgauld.com/index.php?/shop/jetpack/\">\u003Ci>You're Just Jealous of My Jetpack\u003C/i>\u003C/a> by excellent Guardian comics creator \u003Cb>Tom Gauld\u003C/b> and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.scarygoround.com/index.php\">\u003Ci>Bad Machinery: The Case of Team Spirit\u003C/i>\u003C/a> by web-comics legend \u003Cb>John Allison\u003C/b>. Tom had me laughing loudly on the sofa, and I'm in the middle of John's book and really enjoying the chance to read it in a printed format.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/john_allison_tom_gauld_zpse3903ce0-e0847d539c.jpg\">","2013-05-01T09:04:00.000Z","the-leg-of-mutton-sleeve-goes-whoosh",[],"the leg-of-mutton sleeve goes whoosh",1776628725076]
