Contributing Artist Adam Dant sent me his latest print, a limited edition hand-tinted woodcut of the NEW CRIES OF SPITTELFIELDS that he finished just last week, showing many of the familiar street characters of our beloved East End neighbourhood. If you would like to buy a copy, drop the artist a line: Adamdant@adamdant.com

Meanwhile, you can attend my illustrated lecture at the Society of Genealogists in Clerkenwell this Thursday 15th March at 2pm, showing images of itinerant traders over the last four hundred years. Click here for tickets
