Finally met with Abraham Thomas who helped me out with further access within the Word and Images study rooms. Felt like less progress was made today as everything I wanted to see seemed to me to be wrongly catalogued and things that I did get to see seemed irrelevant. Perhaps I need a whole day or week in here and since it is public access, I can access these at any time. Also looked at some fashion drawings, some by Bill Gibb, Zandra Rhodes, Jean Muir, Manolo Blahnik, Victor Steibel, amongst others. Wow, original drawings.
