Description
Pink lettering against a red background. The text reads: Read not to contradict / and confute, nor to believe / and take for granted nor / to find talk and discourse: / but to weigh and consider.
The lettering exercise was possibly made by Vivian Smith while he was a student at Sheffield Technical School of Art. The text is a quote from Francis Bacon.
