5.0 out of 5 stars Just to clarify ..., 12 Sep 2008
By Bbbb "Not answering" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is, in fact, an excellent slice of social history, written and photographed in the 1870s, highly descriptive of London life at the time. I think the above reviewer is a little confused - the photographs are familiar because three or four of them (eg. 'The Crawlers') have been used repeatedly by other publications, exhibitions etc. ever since. Nonetheless, this is a reprint of the original 1870s publication in which said photographs appeared, and well worth your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Portraits of the characters on Victorian London streets., 4 Jun 2009
This book gives a contemporary view of the London of the Victorian Age and includes not only the opinions of the author but of the characters themselves in their own words. These latter accounts provide a valuable insight into these momentous times and the perceptions of the man on the street

1.0 out of 5 stars A RE-HASH OF PAST WORKS?, 6 Sep 2008
I really was hoping this was going to be a fresh look on an old theme as there has been many books done on this type of thing in the past but unfortunately I was very disappointed because NOT only were there VERY FEW PHOTOGRAPHS in the book compared to the amount of text, which is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE TITLE OF THE IMPLIES an awful lot of them will have been seen before in other similar previously printed books on the subject. All in all extremely hoodwinking and I recommend others to avoid it like the plague !
