Each week a new guest will talk about a @britishlibrary digital collection item using the #OurDigitalBL hashtag and explain what it means to them.

This week we are featuring our photographer Alex @BL_Digitisation!
A great part of the job is capturing items from famous people across history. I was inspired to make this gif of Galileo& #39;s signature https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🪶" title="Feather" aria-label="Emoji: Feather"> from folio 15v of Egerton MS 48.

Outside work, I’m an artist: the blend of art, photography & animation is very rewarding, helping me improve at work & in my own interests
