It&#8217;s not a piece I&#8217;d linger over save for the mention of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, a 19th century survey ship involved [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do the four jackdaws taking off across the left-right diagonal here remind you of anything? For me, the regular spacing and apparent connected motion of the birds is reminiscent of  the work of nineteenth century photography pioneer, Eadweard Muybridge. Born in 1830, Muybridge photographed many sequences of birds in flight like the one below.  But [...]]]></description>
