Over seventy years of quintessential London views in one box In
1950, aged 19, David Gentleman arrived in the capital, ready to
begin his life as an artist. Over the next seven decades, he would
sketch, paint, and engrave his way through London, documenting the
cityscape, and shaping it, too - most notably through his iconic
mural in Charing Cross Underground Station. Combining world-famous
imagery with unexpected scenes of daily life in the city, this box
of London artworks is a treasure trove for all those who flock to
the capital. 'David Gentleman is London's visual laureate' Quentin
Blake
