In honour of Leo season and the regal lion of the zodiac, we’re featuring three majestic lions at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. These are electrotype copies of the three silver lions that guard the royal throne at Rosenborg Castle, Denmark. They were acquired by the V&A in 1885 from Elkington and Company for £100 each. Part of the V&A’s collection of reproductions of famous artworks, they showcase the 19th-century blend of art and industrial innovation.

Checking out the South Bank Book Market, which first opened on 2 July 1983 on Queen’s Walk, under Waterloo Bridge. Inspired by the Parisian bouquinistes, the market was started by Leslie Hardcastle of the British Film Institute to bring life to the riverside space.

Today, it features a collection of eight stalls offering everything from contemporary fiction and children’s books to vintage and antiquarian editions, as well as maps, prints, and postcards. Some traders have been here since the 1980s, making it a fixture for book lovers in London for more than 40 years.

Today in History (11 August 1941): Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill signed the Atlantic Charter, a key agreement outlining their vision for a postwar world of peace, self-determination, free trade, and security. It paved the way for the United Nations and guided Allied efforts during and after WWII.

Pictured is the life-size bronze statue 'Allies' of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, sitting and conversing on a bench on New Bond Street. The sculpture by Lawrence Holofcener was unveiled in 1995 to commemorate 50 years of peace since World War II.
