Cafe Royal Books is a project of artistic exchange between four French artists/graphic designers who live in different cities. It is an online space for sharing and discussing each other's work, as well as a biannual original self-published hand-made zine. Cafe Royal Books has had numerous launches, exhibitions, performances, workshops, and has participated in various events/fairs/festivals. Their work has been featured in press publications and blogs such as ANT Fashion Magazine and Vogue.

1/2 is Laure Boer, Anne-Pauline Mabire, Lucie Pindat and Chloé Thomas. They are based in Berlin, Caen, Paris and Vienna respectively. Despite their geographical differences, 1/2 continues to create art together through their online platform and zines.

Over the years, Cafe Royal Books has showcased their work at various venues around the world including Le Bon Accueil in Rennes and Center of Contemporary Art in Tbilisi. They have also participated in events like C/O Berlin Book Days and Vienna Photo Book Festival. Their unique approach to artistry has garnered attention from notable publications such as Gestalten's "Behind the Zines" book.

Best known as the drummer, backing vocalist, and occasional lead vocalist for British rock band Queen, Roger Taylor has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Born on 26 July 1949 in Dersingham (near Kings Lynn), Norfolk, UK, Taylor's talent and passion for music have made him a respected figure in the industry.

Throughout his career, Taylor has not only showcased his exceptional drumming skills but also contributed to Queen's iconic harmonies with his backing vocals. His occasional lead vocal performances have captivated audiences worldwide. With his unique style and stage presence, he has become a beloved member of the legendary band.

In addition to his work with Queen, Taylor has collaborated with various artists such as The Cross, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, and Paul Rodgers. His musical versatility is evident through these collaborations and showcases his ability to adapt to different genres.

These images date from late 1966 on my first real visit to London when I was introduced to Petticoat Lane which, as a lad from Manchester, completely bowled me over, both culturally and visually. The sequence represents my intuitive response to individuals and their immediate environment. The work has never been seen, or published, but thankfully I kept the negatives, all of which were taken on a Hassleblad, which I borrowed from Derby School of Art. Under different circumstances there would have been more images but 120 roll film was expensive for a student living on a maintenance grant of £300 pa.
