Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Thomas Shepherd. (illustrator). Facsimile Edition. 160 pp, 4to(11 1/4" H) Pictorial endpapers, b&w reproductions. "In the early nineteenth century when the cities of Britain were expanding and changing at an unprecedented rate there arose a great interest in the famous buildings that had survived from the past, as well as pride in the new developments which were taking place. This enthusiasm resulted in the production of a number of illustrated books describing the country's most famous towns and cities, of which one of the best was 'London in the Nineteenth Century (originally published in 1827). In this magnificent work, the artist Thomas H. Shepherd (1792-1864) collaborated with the architect and writer James Elmes (1782-1862) to produce an illustrated, historical and descriptive record of almost two hundred of London's finest buildings. The result, printed in facsimile here, was a superb tribute to the achievements of one of the world's greatest capitals at a high point in its long history." Slight wrinkle at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has areas of light edge wrinkling, very light rubbing.
