About the Book
London Calling: Tart Cards London's vanishing clandestine telephone box art, famously known as Tart Cards, once adorned these telephone boxes to advertise the services of sex workers, gaining popularity from the mid-80s to the 90s.
These cards have virtually disappeared from the streets. London Calling explores the fading Tart Cards as found objects and fading fragments—captured through the diminishing cards, paper, and vinyl stickers discovered within the confines of telephone boxes.
