‘Since I published Janet Brooke‘s linocuts of City Churches last year, she has expanded her portfolio with eight more prints and it is my great pleasure to publish the complete set, as a preview of her new exhibition which runs from 18th May until 19th June at Salvation Army Headquarters, 101 Queen Victoria St, EC4. Janet wants you to know that these were all printed on her Imperial Press, dating from 1832 and manufactured by J. Cope & Sherwin, 5 Cumberland Place, Curtain Rd, Shoreditch.’
