Hello Gentle Author. Thank you so much for documenting the East End so lovingly. I am lucky enough to have a copy of East End Vernacular, and I revel in the stories of the artists and the way so many of them have captured the light and atmosphere of the East End.

In the Rose Henriques chapter, you give the old name of Henriques Street as Berners Street. It was actually Berner Street, and I’m mentioning it in case you do a reprint of this wonderful book.

Berner/Henriques Street means the world to me, because my first home was there, in Basil House, which I have always understood to be social housing provided by the Oxford and St George’s settlement. It’s only in the past few years that I have found out that Berner Street was the site where a woman was murdered by the notorious Ripper.

“Nine O’clock News” says it all. The collective family grouping, with the innocent family
pet seeming to review all the faces and body language……..the anxiety of what is ahead, the everyday cares and worries of the group suddenly thrust into a huge unknowable calamity.
This image portrays the fragility of everything, and the stalwart endurance — all in one
painting.
I am greatly impressed with this amazing artist.
A stunning series – and I can’t wait to spend time with this new book.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, another great collection worthy of memorialization. Rose’s people are so real. Particularly impressed with “Nine O’Clock News, The Outbreak of War” and “The New Driver, Ambulance Station, Cannon St Rd.”

Continued success in preserving these treasures …

Rose portrayed life for us all to see, her work lives on, she is in the heavens now. Her art takes us into a wartime London dramatic & historic pics. Rose served her country in two world war on the civilian front line we all must be proud of her. Her paintings deserve to be in the forthcoming big art book. Shalom sweet art lady. Poet John

I always loved her paintings, and she was a fantastic person, always concerned for the welfare of others. Valerie
