'London: A Pilgrimage' was conceived in 1868 by the journalist and playwright Blanchard Jerrold. 'London: A Pilgrimage' is a forgotten classic of social journalism, a frank and brutal look at the poverty striken, gin-swilling London of the nineteenth century, written in a perceptive, bold and gripping style.180 incredible etchings by Dor escort Jerrold on his odyssey through the pulsating city, into the Lambeth gas works, seedy opium dens and grubby bathing houses; peering curiously into the desperate lives of the flower sellers, lavender girls and organ grinders. Accompanied by the famous artist Gustave Dor, Jerrold prowled every corner of the heaving metropolis, sometimes with plain-clothes police for protection.
'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.Peter Ackroyd's
