COMING (VERY) SOON!
Hidden Legacy is far more than a book; it is a rare glimpse into the unfiltered history of British tattooing.
Alexander Colville Gordon spent more than four decades as a silent force within the British tattoo trade. Operating in the shadows, while others chased the limelight, he produced a vast library of iconic designs that became the stock-in-trade of the British tattoo parlour. Following his death in 1950, much of his unmistakable body of work was stripped of his name and credited to others
Seventy-five years later, the silence finally breaks. The record is corrected, and one of the most elusive, influential figures in British history is brought back into the light.
This book is packed with stunning artwork, paintings, unseen photographs, newly discovered canvas banners, and pages of iconic design sheets, all carefully gathered from the world's foremost collectors and museums.
