Picturesque Sketches of London, Past and Present – Thomas Miller – Illustrated – c.1840s ? - Antique Book
A charming Victorian illustrated volume titled Picturesque Sketches of London, Past and Present by Thomas Miller, published by the Office of the National Illustrated Library, Strand, London.
This evocative book offers a fascinating glimpse of London as it once was, richly illustrated with numerous engraved views of churches, public buildings, antiquities and street scenes. The engraved title vignette and internal plates are particularly attractive, making this a highly collectable example of mid-19th-century topographical literature.
Bound in the original decorative cloth boards with gilt lettering to the spine. A wonderful period piece for collectors of London history, Victorian illustration, or antique books.
Condition:
In good antique condition overall. Wear and rubbing to the boards and spine commensurate with age, with some loss at the spine head. Binding remains sound, pages generally clean with light age toning. A solid, presentable copy for its age.
A delightful and atmospheric Victorian London volume – increasingly scarce in original binding and ideal for display or collection.
