Book
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Thus. Hardback. Mayhew's Characters. Selected from 'London Labour and the London Poor' (Which was first published in 1851). Slight foxing to end inside covers. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. London labour and the London Poort, first published in 1851 was described by Henry Mayhew as 'the first attempt to publish the history of a people, from the lips of the people themselves - giving a literal description of their labour, their earnings, their trials, and their sufferings, in their own 'unvarnished' language, and to portray the condition of their homes and their families by personal observation of the places, and direct communion with the individuals. With the help of two collaborators he interviewed some thousands of the people then to be found in the London streets. He elicited from them their life stories which he recorded in their own words, and this volume presents a wide variety of them in their complete original form. This book in its immensely rich and various material from the lips of the people themselves, reflects the comedy and the tragedy of the Victorian streets. Illustrations. 360 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Thus. 336 pages with 12 full page plates from original wood-cuts. Crimson cloth, black lettering, dustwrapper a little rubbed at extremes, but clean and all tight. *The book has been edited down, originally part of a 3 volume set published between 1851-62. The author was co-founder of Punch and a good journalist and wrote like one, 2 of his brothers were also writers, one became sub-editor of Punch, friends of Charles Dickens and may have some influence on his stance on poverty and voice for "improvement". He also remarkably, recorded voices in their natural narrative that still seem as alive today as the day they spoke to him. At the time some of the street traders formed an association to stop the itinerants from talking to him as they felt their lives were being in some ways "ridiculed". But they weren't, far from it. Truth often hurts. 41 Miniature autobiographies collected in this edition.
