Of course here i see lots of monuments... this one is of the great fire of London. Apparently it is 212 feet tall and if you lie it on one side it touches the point where the fire started (a bakery). The fire destroyed something like 4/5 of London, but very few people died. However, so many had died from the plague already...but the fire got rid of that!

Makes me think about the importance of scale in documentation - symbollically, reference-wise, literally, metaphorically...
