If you want a glimpse into London's Covent Garden looked like before the tourists descended, take a look at Nigel Dicker's photographs of Old Covent Garden.

The images show the area back when it was a fruit and vegetable market and were all taken in 1972 and 1973 – just before the market located to its new location in 1974. The photographs are now available to buy as prints and show a fascinating range of customers and city scenes: from sellers to customers to the kind of old fashioned gent shown in the image above. 

Each print is sold as part of a limited edition of 100 and cost £45 each.

Delia Derbyshire poster by Piper Gates Design

Posted on | 3 Comments

Delia

From the people who gave us the likes of the Joy Division and Syd Barrett colouring books, not to mention the Prisoner and Bedazzled posters comes the Delia Derbyshire poster by Piper Gates Design.

Who is Delia Derbyshire you ask? Well, you're unlikely to know unless you are a Doctor Who or vintage electronica fan. She was a pioneer of the latter and best-known for her work as part of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where she produced the famous Doctor Who theme, amongst other things.

This suitably '60s poster is limited to 45 copies, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on very high quality 194 gram paper, each one signed by the artist. £22.99 gets you one. See a shot of the poster on a wall over the page.

Paris

We have featured the vintage-syle Herb Lester city maps in the past, but we think It's Nice To Be Alone In Paris is the best one yet.

For a start, it's by one of our favourite illustrators, Lord Dunsby and also, because it's about Paris, one of our favourite city to spends days wandering around. This map flags up some pretty leftfield things to do as well, 32 in total, including a taxidermist extraordinaire, mint tea at the Grand Mosque, found photographs at Images & Portraits, along with places to eat, swim, drink, buy vintage 'gentlemen's imagery' and enjoy a solitary ice cream. In short, something for everyone.

It's an A3 (297x420mm) map, folded to A6 (105x148mm) and litho printed on recycled paper. As ever, ridiculously cheap at just £3.

Jane Foster London print

Foster-jane-london

Jane Foster's bright and cheerful retro textiles and designs are always a delight, and her new London print doesn't disappoint.

It uses a very simple design to illustrate London: Big Ben, the London Eye and a London bus. The print is enlivened by the application of some of her colourful 1960s/70s patterns to the outline of the objects making London suddenly look like a lot happier place. There's also a similar print available of Paris, showing a Citroen 2CV parked outside the Eiffel Tower.

A 40 x 50cm print will set you back £14.99.
