Measure the depths of society's vices, as Hogarth did in Gin Lane and Beer Street. From drinking and intemperance to the bustling dressmakers workshop, every aspect has its own measure. Even on motorways, traffic cones guide us with precision. A household thermometer measures comfort or discomfort within our homes. Witness the strength of teamwork as a Douglas Dakota picks up a glider in Normandy during World War II - an extraordinary feat measured by courage and determination. Beware of speed cameras that measure our adherence to rules on the road. In Penzance, UK, old people find joy in measuring their skills through bowls, embracing leisurely competition. Bank notes tell stories of French alarmists while poor John Bull suffers the consequences. And let's not forget about simplicity; a cover design from Simplicity Sewing Book reminds us that sometimes less is more when it comes to measurement.
