I have decided to part ways with the theme for chapter 6 of this module and do my own printing theme, reduction linocut instead of making a foam printing block. It seems a good time to think ahead to the final chapter and combine the effort required for this chapter and that required for chapter 10.
Looking back over my architectural photographs of King's Lynn I liked the idea of a panoramic print of the Guild Hall. It's a long highly decorative building which will lends itself well to a lino print and could be spread out with a horizontal base, dividing the facade into sections that can be folded for a concertina / accordion fold book.
I've cobbled together some quick sketches:
Having thought about the front, I then started to think about the reverse of the book. A number of ideas occurred, including a timeline of this rather old town that dates to before the Norman Conquest. However, the town has a rather interesting history of producing carousels and carousel horses - Savages Engineering works - and since I live in a house that was designed for a Savages Engineering senior manager or something like that, I thought I could bring the book to a close on a rather personal note. Extremely sketchy drawing to follow:
