Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PRINTS ARE traditionally the cheap way into art collecting, an alternative when you can't afford oils or watercolours - though some of them are such distinguished works of art in their own right that they become expensive. A vista of what is available and collectable will be offered to the public next week when the eighth London Original Print Fair opens at the Royal Academy. It runs from 25-28 February and fills four galleries. This year, 30 dealers are exhibiting prints from Britain and abroad. The fair's artistic
standards are guaranteed by the venue and it attracts leading dealers from America, France and Germany.
Gwendolen by Augustus John (1878-1961), an etching and drypoint portrait of the artist's sister, Gwen John, who was also a major artist. He made the print around 1902 in an edition of 25. It costs pounds 5,000 from Gordon Cooke's stand
Still Life by William Scott (1913-1989), a lithograph that he made in 1949 in an edition numbering 25. It costs pounds 3,750 from Gordon Cooke's stand
