“I am no longer an artist, interested & curious. I am a messenger who will bring back word from the men who are fighting to those who want the war to go on forever.
Feeble, inarticulate, will be my message, but it will have a bitter truth, & may it burn their lousy souls”

These incredible figures, dating to the 19th century and made of walnut, are Bell Jacks and were once up at high level on Columbia Road Market in Bethnal Green.
They’re huge, and very impressive to see ‘in the flesh’ 🤩
