Description

The original caption reads: "Screen to Waterloo Road. South Bank Exhibition, Festival of Britain 1951."

This screen was one of several around the South Bank site, designed to shield the site from surrounding roads. The Abacus Screen featured 'atoms and molecules', coloured spheres suspended in a metal framework.
