Museum, 1979
Lithograph

This image of the Museum is drawn in isometric
projection, which gives a view of the building
accurate in its dimensions, that is at the same
time reasonably convincing in appearance. All
vertical and horizontal elements are drawn to
the same scale and can be measured - only
diagonals and curves can be distorted in length.
This print (in an addition of 200) was made
from an image used on Museum leaflets
sponsored by Esso.
