Horace Warner's SPITALFIELDS NIPPERS

An illustrated lecture by The Gentle Author of Spitalfields Life blog.

Around 1900, photographer Horace Warner took a series of portraits of some of the poorest people in London - creating relaxed, intimate images that gave dignity to his subjects and producing great photography that is without comparison in his era.

Only seen by members of Warner’s family for more than a century, almost all of these breath-taking photographs are now seen publicly for the first time.

This unique collection of pictures revolutionises our view of Londoners at the end of the nineteenth century, by bringing them startlingly close and permitting us to look them in the eye.

In Partnership with Newham Bookshop and part of Fabula Festival.
