The muscular tension of the boxers in George Bellows's 'Club Night,' gives it an unexpected modernity, painted as it was in 1907, six years before the famous Armory Show which brought cubism and post-impressionism to a bewildered New York public.

'The Morning Commute,' (c1950) is typical of Reginald Brill's keenly observed depictions of people, and of the gritty, low-toned style he sometimes used to heighten atmosphere. Recently, his work has begun to receive the attention it is due.

Rex Vicat Cole's picture is of Rupert Court from around 1930 - the shops and bars here have had various incarnations as part of Soho’s colourful nightlife. It was immortalised in a famous photograph of The Beatles taken by Dezo Hoffman in 1963.
