Meer over het boek
'London: A Pilgrimage' was conceived in 1868 by the journalist and playwright Blanchard Jerrold. Accompanied by the famous artist Gustave Dore, Jerrold explored every corner of the bustling metropolis, sometimes with plain-clothes police for protection. 'London: A Pilgrimage' is a classic of social journalism, offering a frank and brutal look at the poverty-stricken, gin-swilling London of the nineteenth century, written in a perceptive, bold, and gripping style. 180 incredible etchings by Dore accompany Jerrold on his journey through the vibrant city, into the Lambeth gas works, seedy opium dens, and grubby bathing houses; peering curiously into the desperate lives of flower sellers, lavender girls, and organ grinders. 'London: A Pilgrimage' is an enlightening work that brings to life the chaotic and gloomy past of a great city on the cusp of modern times.
