From the handsome dining rooms of Brawn to beloved institutions like Ciao Bella, John Donohue renders people's favorite restaurants in a manner that captures the emotional pull a certain place can have on the hearts of Londoners. A Taste of London is a collection of these drawings, characterized by their appealingly informal lines.
