1890 1st ed London A Pilgrimage Illustrated Gustave Dore PLATES English Poverty
“The most popular and successful French book illustrator of the mid-19th century.”“London, A Pilgrimage” was conceived in 1868 by the journalist and playwright Blanchard Jerrold. Accompanied by the famous artist Gustave Doré, Jerrold prowled every corner of the heaving metropolis, sometimes with plain-clothes police for protection. “London, A Pilgrimage” is a forgotten classic of social journalism, a frank and brutal look at the poverty stricken, gin-swilling London of the nineteenth century, written in a perceptive, bold and gripping style.This folio edition is filled with stunning engravings by Doré throughout.
