Book Reviews of Victorian London Street Life in Historic Photographs

Book Review: Fabulous resource for the amateur historian, historian, or writer
Summary: 5 Stars

The photographs are an incomparable resource--the first of their kind--and the articles rival Henry Mayhew's in depth, clarity, and coverage. These pictures will lead you into the intricate and fascinating lives of the lower classes of London, with information that simply isn't available elsewhere. From independent boot blacks to chair-menders, the lives of those who left few to no records are recorded with simplicity and sympathy appropriate to the subjects.

Summary of Victorian London Street Life in Historic Photographs

Classic document of social realism contains 37 photographs by famed Victorian photographer Thomson, accompanied by texts offering sharply drawn vignettes of laborers, dustmen, street musicians, shoe blacks, more. Astonishing historical detail.
