Newton at the British Library

The British Library is on Euston Road, London, between Euston railway station and St Pancras railway station. It opened in 1998 and is unusual for that time in that its exterior is predominantly orange brick. In the library's piazza is Eduardo Paolozzi's large bronze sculpture of Newton. It is based on William Blake's famous monotype illustration of the great British scientist. Passing the building recently I stopped to photograph the sculpture and got this shot incorporating the figure and some cut-out signage.
