About this work

In 2007, Sally Jacobs made a drawing for the Victoria and Albert Museum’s 150th birthday album. The museum asked 150 artists to share what inspired them about its collections. Her page could be any style—drawing, design, or even words. Jacobs chose drawing. The album marked the museum’s move to South Kensington in 1857. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
