Snowy Half Nelson
England expects every man to do his duty: i.e. get out in the snow and start fooling about like a nipper. And full credit to the members of the National Maritime Museum’s Historic Photographs & Ship Plans department, based at the Brass Foundry, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, for creating this spectacular half Nelson. It’s quite the most unexpected snowman I’ve seen this year — save for the snowy Chassidic Jew on Portland Avenue, N16 — and certainly the best sculpted. (Hat tip: Doug M).

There's an inconvenient truth about the marriage of good writing and design: it's so harmonious that it's easy to assume it must be a doddle. It isn't. The magic is in making people think it is.
