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
