Product Description
Review
'Now these two rivals [the north and south banks of the Thames] have been rendered in extraordinary detail by the New York-based Milanese master of illustration, Matteo Pericoli, whose jaw-dropping 11-metre long London Unfurled is one of the most remarkable things we have seen in a long while. Matteo's new project is the latest in a career which has seen him become the king of the cityscape'

`London Unfurled offers just enough features to feel like a properly interactive app but no so many as to feel overwhelming. The result is the chance to sit and really get immersed in a work of art.' --The Telegraph Online
`Now [Pericoli] has turned his skill with pen and ink to London, following in the footsteps of Wenceslaus Hollar, to delineate our bridges and spires, power stations and piers in detail precise enough to induce eyeball sweat.' --The Telegraph
`A unique and absorbing study of the Thames landscape...the buildings which form part of the Londoner's everyday life become uniquely detailed in manner probably never seen before. A fascinating revelation of - as Pericoli calls the riverbanks - magnets, a push and pull of energies, an imagery of effect. Here in magnificent accurate detail, are your own private glimpses of London's Thameside skyline.... Buy one for Christmas, it'll keep you intrigued and involved for hours.' --Kent Life
`We loved this the first time we saw it but it merits a revisit - Pericoli's 37-foot-long pen-and-ink drawings of the city's riverbanks are sublime studies of one of London's often unremarked spaces.' --Chris Moss, Time Out

An evocative depiction of London as it is now: its simple line drawing heighten the delight as you turn over the concertina-ed pages to journey along the Thames past landmarks and through the hurly-burly heart of modern day London. A great memento or present for London, architecture or art fans.

I go to Foyles London bookshop events quite a lot and heard this illustrator talk there a few weeks ago; his talk was so interesting. He talked in a very thoughtful way about why he draws the way he does, about what cities are and loads of other things. Anyway, I bought a copy of the book and have been looking and looking at it ever since; I see new things each time I do. It's such a fascinating way to see London and I think it is beautifully drawn and stunningly produced. I've also bought a couple for friends (one of their houses is even in the drawing!) and think it's a wonderful gift. Superb.

I love London, and images of London, so when I saw this in a bookshop window, I thought it looked excellent. It's produced in a lovely cover, but I feel that the simple pen and ink type drawings don't contain anywhere near enough detail to show the Thames riverside in the best way. The production seems to outweigh the content by far, and my advice would be to make sure you examine a copy of the interior of the book before you purchase it - which I'm ashamed to say I didn't do!
Listmania!
