Anyone in the UK, preferably a librarian or library worker recognize this poster? At the bottom it says “Library Association Poster”

Old fashioned images of various times in history, accompanied by wording that says “ The Pageant of Life seen through your public library”

And it continues, with a prompt in app.thestorygraph.com/books/9627ac..., asking how time shows up in my art.

I'm working through the prompts slowly, with @sharongottulaart.bsky.social, and I appreciate that Sharon's articulate observations give me a high bar to reach for.
