LONDON a Pilgrimage
London: Grant & Co., 1872. First Edition. Folio. Item #014701
191pp., illustrated with magnificent illustrations by Dore whose marvelous depictions of the squalid metropolis and showing an underside described in part by Dickens and written both by Octavia Hill and General Booth were here made bold by the large size engravings with details that later reprints unfortunately had to reduce ending the boldness of his pen, rebacked and re-cornered in brown leather over original maroon cloth, raised bands with lettering gilt, marbled endpapers and all edges marbled, occasional scattered foxing but mostly clean. A very good copy of this scarce edition. - McLean, Victorian Book Design; Garvery; Muir, Victorian Illustrated Books pp. 225-22.
