Dore's London - (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) by Gustave Doré (Paperback)

This comprehensive collection of 180 drawings by Gustave Doré, one of France's most celebrated graphic artists of the 19th century, offers a panoramic portrait of London in the middle of the 1800s.

From fashionable ladies riding in a sunlit park to ragged wretches in a shadowy side street, these remarkably perceptive sketches capture all aspects of workaday London, including busy marketplaces, the Christy Minstrels, a waterman's family, thieves gambling, and many other scenes that evoke the bygone era.

With detailed descriptions and high-quality reproductions, this collection is a must-have for any art lover or historian interested in Victorian London.
