Life
He was born in London. He studied at the London school of Printing and Graphic arts.[2]
David King, who devoted his extraordinary gifts as an artist to salvaging the historical truth of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and its aftermath from beneath the vast and now wrecked edifice of Stalinist crimes and lies, suffered a heart attack, after which he discharged himself from hospital and died peacefully in this home, surrounded by his life time of work.[3]
