This is a rather beautiful and skillfully made design in a threshold mosaic at the entrance to one of the commercial units on the ground floor of Saint George's Mansions at Charing Cross in Glasgow. Such mosaics were once commonplace at the entrances to shops and businesses, but over time more and more of them are being lost.

For A Project™, I need to learn about the historical origins of #bitmap #fonts. Highly doubt these were first created on computers; where in the world have rectangular #tiles or #bricks carried a textual message? (The tiled signs in the #NYC subway are #mosaics, not based on a grid.) Where did bitmap fonts really start?
