Travelling Museum of Finds
Following the launch of Rag and Bone, I would have been at festival and bookshop events in 2020, sometimes accompanied by a ‘Travelling Museum of Finds’. Halfway between a print setter’s cabinet and a suitcase, this contains beachcombing and mudlarking finds collected while writing the book. Instead, as lockdowns meant I was unable to take it out, this blog offers a virtual version: a show-and-tell of those lost and discarded objects.
