New Card

We have used up our second batch of Members’ cards (a very good sign) and I must design and order new ones. Fast. As we continue to grow, new members and renewals no longer mosey through the door in dribs and drabs. So I must urgently choose a lovely picture to feature on our next round of Members’ cards. The difficulty is that there is so much choice.

Please make suggestions! In case you’re not yet a Member, our previous cards look like this:

Our first card featured Somerset House and the Thames looking downriver. By Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, 1817.

Our current card, a gorgeous painting by William Marlow of St Paul's and the new Blackfriars Bridge in 1788. You can see the original in the Guildhall Art Gallery.

As you can see we need a nice big piece of sky or otherwise featureless section in one of the corners in order to place the LH logo. The only other criteria are that it needs to be obviously London, and historical. It should be a painting, etching etc., not photograph. Finally, it should be royalty-free or royalty-cheap. We don’t mind paying a bit for the right image.

Email your suggestions to us or just write in the comments.
