INTERVIEW BEGINS AT 12:20

In 1902 Jack London went "undercover" to life among the poorest of the poor in the East end of London, he documented this thru his groundbreaking book People of the Abyss and thru a series of photographs of said location. How much has the East End changed in 118 years? Well now we can actually compare.

Brilliant photographer Andrew Firth brings us his latest work Pictures of the Abyss, this over sized photo documentary is a book that all historians and those interested in the East End should grab up as soon as possible.

Andrew painstakingly photographs the exact same locations, from as close to the same angle as possible to do comparative photos that span over 100 years. This book can actually be pre-ordered now, but hurry, as with all of Andrews work, they sell FAST and quickly become highly sought after collectibles.
