Item description from seller

Cloth, 4to, 26 cm, 176 pp, plates, ills (a few colour), From the blurb: " The book Bond Street is something more than a universal mobile shop window for the world's most famous shopping street - it puts on record the remarkable story of Bond Street's romantic development as an exclusive airing ground of fashion decade by decade, and as a rendezvous for those distinguished in all walks of life. Seen in mental retrospect after the reading this tale of Bond Street is like a processional film in brilliant Technicolor reflecting and summing up wonderful changing scenes in the process of a nation's growth. Author Ivor Halstead has had an astonishing set of characters and events to put on the stage of this historic highway in which supreme social and intellectual associations have done so much to force commercial shopping practice on to the highest plane and to keep it there. To colour his unique record of a unique thoroughfare Mr. Halstead has been able to call into collaboration illustrious men and women : The Prince Regent, Beau Brummell, Charles Dickens, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, Laurence Sterne, Lord Nelson, Lady Hamilton, Sir Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and many more whose names are woven forever into the annals of a great people." Old dampstaining and rubbing to covers, otherwise Good in chipped dustwrapper which is lacking a piece at the top edge of the front wrapper.…
