About This Item
London: Black and Armstrong, 1835. Hardcover. Good / Fair. Reprint. Hardback, bound in full-leather, gilt titling to spine. 22.5 × 13.5cm, 216pp. A history of London, illustrated with frontispiece of St Paul's Cathedral, engraved title page and 270 engravings on 54 pages (there are five illustrations per page). The illustrations contains everything from zoos to hospitals, churches to residences, street scenes, monuments, parks etc. Condition: A good reference copy. The leather is heavily rubbed to the joints and the boards marked and bumped. There is tanning to the pages and one plate of engravings is neatly detached, and one has a neat taped repair to the rear. However, this remains a wonderful collection of early 19th century London images.
