About This Item
London : B. T. Batsford, [1920]. First edition. "This very handsome quarto, which contains a wealth of information, very difficult to acquire, reproduces a series of illustrations even more difficult to get possession of. The subject is divided into eight sections, which include street topography, pleasure resorts, clubs, coffee houses and taverns ... great houses and public buildings, churches, and so on. Its pictures alone are a delight, not least the wonderful photographs of the interiors, and such buildings as remain" (The Graphic, 12th November 1921). Crown 4to (26cm). (viii),(272),[ii]pp. Frontispiece and numerous plates, giving 191 images in total, many from contemporary sources. Original cloth gilt; just a hint of bruising; some mild spotting and browning of outer leaves, but a very good copy in the illustrated dust-jacket - just lightly rubbed and a little worn, but also very good.
