Watt's: Can I get a witness

Thought you might be interested in seeing some of the research I've been doing and how the images below mesh with this research and drafting. So, I've filled in some of the other posts with some of my draft I've been working on.

Also relevent is further notes about witness, which continues on from the quote below about Knott & Watt:

“But what kind of witness was Watt, weak now of eye, hard of hearing, and with even the more intimate senses greatly below par?
“A needy witness, an imperfect witness.
“The better to witness, the worse to witness.
“That with is need he might witness its absence.
“That imperfect he might witness it ill.
“That Mr Knott might never cease, but ever almost cease.” (203)

And, also: “When Mr Knott moved in the midst of his garden, he did so as one unacquainted with its beauties, looking at the trees, looking at the bushes, looking at the vegetables, as though they, or he, had been created in the course of the night” (203)
