*24.04.2020 Remade Drawing* | re. John Panting “There is no attempt to abridge the apparent redundancy with a sense of tacit order. The usual checks and balances are conspicuously absent.” [Ronnie Rees, 1975]

“…but we should have cultural democracy and also economic democracy, and then art will be needed and all art would happen…and we are just at the beginning of it.”

The standing stones represent the letter punches which he cut to make his type, and the word virgil was Baskerville’s first book, published in 1757, as a re-print of the Roman author’s poems. Industry and Genius refers to a poem of the same title which first appeared in Aris’s Birmingham Gazette on 21 January 1751, with a dedication to John Baskerville.
