Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Revised. Paperback. Discovering London Statues and Monuments. Londoners are especially fortunate in the richness of their monumental heritage. Few streets in the Cities of London and Westminster are without some inscribed reminder of a past worthy or cause; others are crowded with them. More curious than the producion, however, are the omissions. Why obscure politcians like Bentinck but no significant monument to an artist like Turner or a musician like Handel? The author here explains some of the reasons for London's sculpted gallery and describes the subjects, the donors, the sculptor and the results, like Lord Palmerston, promulgator of the doctrine of Civis Romanus sum, George IV, riding forever stirrupless, or Sir Sydney Waterlow, sensibly holding his umbrella. From the sixteenth-century statue of Queen Elizabeth I in Fleet Street to Montgomery, with his bak to the Ministry of Defence, this book will prove a rich source of fact and anecdote, a who's who in bronze and stone in the capital city. This completely revised edition, now extended to include memorials throughout Greater London, has over six hundred entries, from Hale Selassie to Oscar Wilde, from Sikorski to Hogarth. Illustrated. 224 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
