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

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
