East End Vernacular The Gentle Author An early Xmas present to myself. Not only because of the Pearl Binder & James Boswell chapters but also because my Grandmother's family had Huguenot roots, settling in Spitalfields before spreading their wings to other parts. #eastlondon #pearlbinder #jamesbaswell #socialhistory #familytree @townhousespitalfields

The Real East End Pearl Binder I’m exhibiting at the Whitechapel Gallery this weekend, a far cry from the East End of 1932 when Pearl Binder drew these lithographs. Then, as now, East London proved a fertile ground for artists and thankfully enthusiasts such as The Gentle Author have curated the legacy and these and current East London Artists. #pearlbinder #therealeastend @whitechapelgallery @eastlondonprintmakers https://www.instagram.com/p/BndOPdyhy_j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1swoc6nsjzx4y

Freezer Pearl Binder Stone lithograph of the West India Dock Road taken from The Real East End, published in 1932. In a small way Binder can credited as the godmother of the Puffin Picture Book series as it was her collection of Russian Children's books, bought whilst visiting Russia, that she showed to Noel Carrington who was so inspired that he determined to publish a similar series for English children. #pearlbinder #noelcarrington #puffinpicturebooks #therealeastend #popularart #westindiadockroad #eastlondon #freezer

Watney Street Market Pearl Binder Lithograph from The Real East End, published in 1932 and drawn by Binder when she was living in Spread Eagle Yard. She was a larger than life character, a committed socialist who visited Russia in the early 1930s and came back to help found the Artists International Association, and was active in both politics and art throughout her life. #pearlbinder #realeastend #eastlondon #lithography #artistsinternationalassociation

The Golden City Pearl Binder. A collaboration with A.L. Lloyd, the folk song collector, published in 1960, at the heart of the English Folk Song and Dance revival. Pearl Binder is an underrated and fascinating figure in the history of East London illustrators. #pearlbinder #eastlondon #folkart #popularart #thegoldencity

Pearl Binder. ... and to crown everything she had made Blenyi .... butter pancakes with dollops of cream on top. From her Soviet inspired Puffin Picture Book, Misha Learns English, published as the siege of Leningrad raged, in solidarity with the great Russian sacrifice and struggle. #pearlbinder #mishalearnsenglish #puffinpicturebooks #lithography #blenyi #leningrad #realeastend
