Product Description

Review

"Its ingenious informal arrangement makes the book a real pleasure" --Sunday Times

Product Description

The capital like you've never seen it before. London through a lens brings together over 200 images of the city from the birth of photography to the present. Based on the popular slot in the weekly "Time Out" magazine, it avoids the usual tourist cliches in favour of beautiful, shocking, intriguing and amusing pictures - each with explanatory text - that create a vibrant portrait of London's many faces. Taken from the vast archives of Getty Images, the photos mix the momentous and the mundane, cultural highs and sporting lows, iconic buildings and forgotten streets, famous figures and ordinary Londoners. Some are by acclaimed photographers, some by anonymous snappers, and many are rare or never published. The result: a rich and arresting visual biography - and the perfect gift for anyone interested in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a find, 4 Dec 2008

By	Man of Kent (UK) - See all my reviews

I stumbled across this book by pure accident as it was given to a colleague for a leaving present. After a quick flick I was hooked and had to buy it for myself!

The photographs are breathtaking capturing London at various stages in the last hundred (or so) years. Some of the photographs you will remember, some you won't believe, but all captured and printed in lovely detail. The descriptions are well written and go into just enough detail to make it interesting.

An ideal present for old and young or treat yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful step back into London past, 1 Dec 2008

By	Ms. P. Britton (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was so disappointed to have missed Getty Images Gallery's exhibition of London Through a Lens and so this was the next best thing. This book is a simply wonderful glance at times gone by with some truly magical and nostalgic photographs (237 altogether) capturing some great moments in London with one in particular going back as far as 1843 as well as some images which serve to remind you just how hard life was at times.

I think this book would make a fantastic gift for anyone who lives in or particularly likes London or indeed anyone who would like to see some truly amazing and provocative imagery of times gone by.

I bought this book after seeing the exhibition of the same name. The book is much better though as you get so many more pictures that were left out of the exhibition. Read more
