Description
The Writing on the Wall: The Graffiti of London by George Stewart-Lockhart is a rare and fascinating glimpse into 1970s countercultural London. First published nearly 40 years ago, this book was instrumental in establishing the trend of documenting graffiti, paving the way for the many books that followed. A new foreword provides an opportunity to hear the stories behind the photographs for the first time, alongside insights from those who created the graffiti themselves. The images offer a unique window into a pivotal moment in London's history, capturing the city's urban decay and regeneration against the backdrop of a vibrant counterculture movement. The book features a diverse cast of characters, including members of King Mob, poet Heathcote Williams, journalist Neil Lyndon, and musicians from the legendary ska band Madness. Their stories and messages are preserved in these powerful photographs, providing a lasting record of this pivotal era.
