User keywords, or 'tags', are words added to object records by other users to enhance their discovery. You can add keywords that may be useful in helping others find this object.

We are experimenting with tagging because sometimes museums describe objects in language that is highly specialist and user added keywords are useful in bridging the 'semantic gap' between the language of the museum and that of the user.

Any keywords listed have been added by other users like yourself. You can click on them to use them as search terms to dicover other objects. User tags

Description
Pencil drawing, paper / pencil / ink, James Johnson and Office, London, England, 1805-1806

A page featuring pencil sketches on one side and printed text on the reverse side. The pencil sketches relate to aspects of the design of the British Mint. Notations and measurements can be seen in pencil on the sketches. Sums and working can also be seen in ink. The printed text on the reverse appears to be a document, perhaps a contract, regarding Boulton and Watt. The page has been roughly cut along one side.
Made: 1805 - 1806
