The Gentle Author will talk about his new book ‘The Gentle Author’s London Album’. Between the covers of this magnificent album you will discover more than 600 of the Gentle Author’s favourite pictures of London, setting the wonders of our modern metropolis against the pictorial delights of the ancient city, and celebrating the infinite variety of life in the capital.
This is London seen from an easterly direction – as the centre of gravity in the city has shifted, The Gentle Author of Spitalfields Life has amassed a wealth of extraordinary pictures of London with a special emphasis upon the East End. Among the multiplicity of visual pleasures to be savoured, garnered from four centuries including our own, enjoy the ostentatious trade cards of Georgian London, the breath-taking lantern slides of Victorian London, the bizarre car crashes of Clerkenwell, the heroic Spitalfields nippers, the soulful dogs of old London, and a parade of last year’s snowmen.
