Synopsis :

This book is a beautifully illustrated picture-documentary which brings into clear focus the architecture and environment of London during the period of its most rapid expansion. Eric de Maré has written a truly remarkable text to accompany the illustrations of the everyday lives of Londoners in the mid-nineteenth century - how they worked, how they spent their leisure, how they dressed, and how they dealt with poverty, crime, education, sex, and hygiene. The glorious and evocative illustrations by that master of Victorian engraving, Gustave Doré, are supplemented with pictures and early photographs from contemporary records.

À propos de l?auteur: Eric de Maré is a distinguished architectural historian and Penguin author. His other books include: PHOTOGRAPHY AND ARCHITECTURE, BRIDGES OF BRITAIN, and THE CANALS OF BRITAIN AND LONDON 1851: THE YEAR OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
