A short thread to explain... 1/9
ALT A4 Poster for the exhibition "Mapping an Uneven Path: Stories of Health and Disability at Verulamium". In the foreground an illustration shows a Roman man walking along a jagged path with a bandaged leg and walking staff. In the background, several other illustrated figures - such as a mother and her child, and a doctor - exist behind a green mist. Some butterflies float around the image.
