Leaflet for Esther Lahr's Lending Library

Title
Leaflet for Esther Lahr's Lending Library
Description
This leaflet advertises Esther Lahr’s lending library, run alongside the Progressive Bookshop in London. Closely connected to anarchist and left-wing intellectual networks, the library offered access to radical literature that was often difficult to obtain elsewhere. Modest in format yet purposeful in tone, the printed leaflet outlines borrowing terms while signalling the political commitments behind the enterprise. It reflects how the Lahrs combined bookselling, publishing and lending as part of a broader anarchist cultural project, creating a space where print became a tool for debate, education and dissent.
