Figure 6 - This splendid cartoon is of CDS operating a machine which turns his index cards into books. Hanging on the wall is the famous Latin inscription from Sir Christopher Wren's tomb in St Paul's Cathedral (which of course he designed): 'Si monumentum requiris circumspice' - If you seek his monument, look around you. In the bottom left corner is 'Thirty Years Hard Labour, E.E.A.'. The cartoon is a postcard on which is written on the other side, 'Best of Good wishes for Christmas and the New Year, from all at Evaeria. 22.xii.23'. This is the name of the house of Major Ernest Edward Austen, DSO, FZS(1867–1938), assistant keeper of the NHM's Entomology Department and an authority on tsetse flies.
