[title not known] 

Editor: Here we have an ink drawing from the British School, simply titled "[title not known]". It shows a hand holding a pen, and it looks like the pen is stabbing a ribbon with words on it. What are your thoughts on its possible interpretation? Curator: Well, considering the materials, ink on paper, and the implied act of writing, it makes me think about the labor involved. Who produced the paper, the ink, the pen? What social class did they belong to? Editor: That’s a great point. I was so focused on the image itself, I didn’t consider the means of production. Curator: Exactly! The inscription on the ribbon, "I had a bit of Pork I Stuck it on," suggests a critique of consumption and perhaps waste. It's about more than just the image. Editor: So, you're saying it's a commentary on the society of the time, using everyday materials to convey a deeper message about labor and consumption? I’ll definitely think about that next time. Curator: Precisely. By focusing on the material conditions, we can unlock hidden layers of meaning.
