P H Ditchfield, illustrated by E L Wratten

Edité par Methuen, London, 1914

First edition. Hardback, bound in the original blue cloth with gilt decoration to spine and gilt titling to upper board. 26 × 18cm, 312pp. P.H. Ditchfield?s London Survivals is a nostalgic and scholarly "itinerary" of the historical structures that managed to escape the Great Fire of 1666 and the rapid urbanization of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Ditchfield was an antiquarian who wrote this book as a pleas for preservation and against the "ruthless hand of the destroyer" (modern developers) before it is completely modernized. Illustrated throughout with pen and ink drawings. Condition: A good copy. There is some bumping to the corners, and light scattered foxing throughout (most pages clean) and the book remains in strong readable condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 016914
