Did you know that certain rare East London Group paintings are findable in places like charity shops?🎨

Though relatively unknown today, The East London Group took over the art world during the interwar years, receiving huge commercial success in the 1920s–30s and acclaim at the Venice Biennale in 1936.

From Mile End to Mayfair, journey through their remarkable origin story, progress and successes inside this exclusive limited edition collector’s edition of ‘Artists of the East London Group’ by David Buckman.

Have you ever discovered a rare treasure, out of the blue? Tell us in the comments!

‘Artists of the East London Group’ is available for pre-order now, either online via our website (link in bio) or from all good booksellers.

Publishing 14 May 2026.

It’s true, cats LOVE ‘Curious Cats and Fantastical Felines’ and so will you! 🐈‍⬛ 🐾

In the latest book by folklorist and author Willow Winsham @willowwinsham, lap up centuries of folkta(ils) that reveal how cats have been revered, reviled and everything in between throughout history.

With their claws in endless myths, legends, sayings and superstitions across the centuries and now in our memes, videos and celebrity cat accounts, is safe to say that humankind has always been, cat-obsessed. Discover where it started in this exquisitely illustrated history.

Available online via our website (link in bio) or from other good booksellers.
