Astz

Astz is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A printer active in 1913, Astz made black-and-white prints of city life. One surviving sheet shows London’s streets in the grip of winter, crowds bundled against December cold and headlined “10th December 1913.” Look closer and you can still feel the soot in the air and the echo of boots on cobblestones.

Tap the print to zoom in on the faces and shop signs, or slide left to see how the whole sheet was inked and pulled.
