For those of you who don’t already know the work of Adam Dant, here is the necessary information. He was trained as a printmaker at the Royal College of Art, exhibits every year at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, lives in the northern reaches of Spitalfields, and makes his living as a printmaker, doing work for magazines in the tradition of Hogarth. I first came across his work when he did The Map of Spitalfields Life in 2011 and acquired his An Historical Guide to Shoreditch not long afterwards (it is dated 3000). I admire his work: it is always based on meticulous research and often has satirical bite buried in the margins.
Has someone contacted Prince Charles to ask him to help save the foundry – or is it too late for that?
Not too late. He knows all about it. We await the decision of the Inspector. Charles
