Keith Haring was a driving force in bridging pop art and street art in the 1980s, and an outspoken activist. The Apocalypse series was a set of 10 prints designed to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic that was ravaging New York City at the time, particularly in the creative and q***r communities that Haring was a part of.

Haring’s work has become synonymous with the artistic identity of New York in the 80s, and his work can still be found in both public spaces and museums around the city.

Has Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ inspired a comeback of the classics, or was Nolan inspired to make the film because the classics never went away? In a riveting presentation at The Moss Club last week, our rare book seller Alessia argued the latter. The evening was fascinating and a fun exploration of the history of collecting classics and how contemporary collectors are engaging with the material in new and thrilling ways.

With all the excitement around Leslie Odom Jr’s West End debut in Hamilton, what better time to look back at The Federalist Papers?

Considered the most famous and influential American political work, the three authors – Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay – were non-stop in their defence of the American constitution. This incredible edition from 1802 was the first to identify Hamilton, Madison, and Jay as the authors, as well as include Hamilton’s “Pacificus” essays, written in defence of Washington’s 1793 Neutrality Proclamation during the war between Britain and revolutionary France.

Hamilton aided in the proofreading and revision of this edition, and it was the last edition issued in his lifetime.
