Bøker utgitt av Spitalfields Life Books

David Hoffman documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.

The Gentle Author assembles a choice selection of CRIES OF LONDON, telling the stories of the artists and celebrated traders, and revealing the unexpected social realities contained within these cheap colourful prints produced for the mass market.

These pictures record an extraordinary meeting between a photographer and a group of Irish Travellers' children in London Fields in 1987, yet the subject of Colin O'Brien's tender and clear-eyed photographs is no less than the elusive drama of childhood itself.
