Enter 115 years of family-owned independent bookselling, turning that first kitchen table venture into a beloved, world-famous bookshop brand and the stuff of legend. Here\u0026#39;s some of the stories you might have heard: We\u0026#39;re the bookshop that telegrammed Hitler asking to buy the books he was burning in the 1930s (he wouldn\u0026#39;t sell). When George Bernard Shaw, a vegetarian, spoke on the protection of birds at one of the famed Literary Luncheons, guests were served chicken. And, under the management of the charismatic Christina Foyle (a one-time debt collector in Stalinist Russia), we were notorious for our Byzantine \u0026#39;chit\u0026#39; system in which customers wanting to purchase a book were given a paper slip and told to queue again to pay.\u0026quot;,null,null,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com\/faviconV2?url\\u003dhttps:\/\/www.foyles.co.uk\\u0026client\\u003dAIM\\u0026size\\u003d64\\u0026type\\u003dFAVICON\\u0026enable_upscaled\\u003dtrue\\u0026fallback_opts\\u003dTYPE,SIZE,URL\u0026quot;,[[1777856237207636,137640960,2987672258],null,null,null,null,[[0,2,127]]]]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e on Charing Cross Road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuschitzky originally took this speculatively for advertising, but Foyles remarkably rejected it at the time, only for it to become one of his most iconic works later!\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eEra\u003c\/strong\u003e: Printed in \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003e1989\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e (part of a vintage portfolio series celebrating Suschitzky’s 1930s work)\u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" aria-owns=\"action-menu-parent-container\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: Continental 6\" x 4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-quality black-and-white art print on heavy cardstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eVintage Portfolio\u003c\/span\u003e, London\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Excellent vintage condition with \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003elight corner bumping\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
