"Round London" likely capitalized on this trend by compiling a collection of photographs showcasing iconic locations such as historic buildings, parks, monuments, and other points of interest in the bustling metropolis of London. --- As a publication from the late Victorian era, "Round London" provides a valuable glimpse into the architectural, cultural, and social landscape of London during that period. It serves as both a historical document and a visual record of the city's heritage, offering readers and viewers a chance to immerse themselves in the sights and scenes of London as it was over a century ago. --- For collectors of antique books, historians interested in the development of London, and enthusiasts of Victorian photography and architecture, "Round London" holds significant appeal. Its publication by George Newnes, a notable publishing house of the time, further enhances its value and credibility as a representation of late 19th-century London. ----- NOTE: Due to extra large size and weight of this book, extra shipping charges may apply. Happy to send more pictures and answer any questions. Seller Inventory # B-TRAV-LONDON-01
