Pearl Binder, Baroness Elwyn-Jones (pronounced /ˈbaɪndə/;[1] 28 June 1904 – 25 January 1990)[2][3] was a British writer, illustrator, stained-glass artist, lithographer, sculptor and a champion of the Pearly Kings and Queens.

[5] In this time Binder drew scenes from everyday life in London that she made into lithographs.

She published a series that illustrated "The Real East End" by Thomas Burke, a popular writer who ran a pub in Poplar at the time.

Binder's illustrations are an intimate, first-hand portrayal of grimy London life in that era.

As she did not give birth to her daughter Josephine until 6 January 1938 – less than a month after the last episode transmitted – Binder could well have been the first heavily pregnant woman to appear on television.
