It is my delight to publish these old Whitechapel letterheads and receipts from Philip Mernick‘s astonishing ephemera collection. Many are remarkable for the beauty of their typographic design as well as revealing the wide range of industry and commerce.

Speigelhalters were in Whitechapel from 1928 until 1988

Gardiner’s Corner was a familiar landmark in East End for generations
















This was the family business of the artist Nathaniel Kornbluth
