This beautifully presented edition of Doré's London reproduces all of Doré's illustrations alongside carefully selected texts of the period. Gustave Doré is an artist with widespread appeal and his London engravings are among his most well known and accomplished. The illustrations reveal sheer energy of Victorian London and vividly display the terrible contrast between the destitute poor and the 'idle rich', with text including writings by great Victorian authors such as Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, Wilkie Collins and Henry Mayhew.
