Photographed in London in the early 1980s, The Islington Twins are two locally known figures associated with the area around Islington and Highbury, including “The Bar” outside Highbury & Islington Station. The twins are recognised for their sharp mod and rude boy style.
Red Saunders first saw the twins on Chalk Farm Road. Struck by their presence, he introduced himself and invited them to his studio. They called, came over, and this first portrait session led to further collaborations.
The Islington Twins, 1981 by Red Saunders is issued by British Culture Archive as a hand-numbered limited edition photographic print. Each print is produced on Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Pearl 310gsm paper and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
Red Saunders (b.1945) is a British photographer and activist.
A co-founder of Rock Against Racism, Saunders has spent more than five decades photographing people, politics, performance and subcultures across Britain. His work is known for its attention to self-presentation, collective identity and the political charge of popular culture.
All British Culture Archive prints and editions are supplied unframed and include a white border around the image. Border widths vary according to the proportions of each photograph.
If a mount is used, ask your framer to ensure that the full image, signature and edition details remain visible. A professional framer can advise on suitable archival mounting, glazing and frame options. Prints may also be framed without a mount.
All British Culture Archive prints and editions are inspected and securely packaged before dispatch. Smaller prints are sent flat, while larger prints are rolled and sent in sturdy fine art tubes.
