Leather. Condition: Very Good Indeed. A vivid third edition account of the vice, crime, and poverty of Victorian London"s underworld, illustrated with a hand-coloured frontispiece, smartly bound in half calf. In a later half calf binding with marbled paper boards. Endpapers renewed.Third edition.Illustrated with a hand-coloured frontispiece after Joe Lisle. Collated, complete.An early and influential exploration of London"s criminal underworld, with particular attention to the "cadging houses" of St Giles"s Rookery. The Rookery was famously depicted by artists such as William Hogarth, Thomas Rowlandson, and Gustave Doré, and described by writers including Henry Fielding and Charles Dickens. As later noted by Peter Ackroyd, these rookeries represented "the worst living conditions in all of London"s history." Duncombe describes the living conditions of street workers, beggars, and the "unfortunate classes," including children, often runaways and orphans. Ripe with sensational detail, this work reflects the Victorian appetite for depictions of urban poverty. In a later half calf binding with marbled paper boards. Endpapers renewed.Externally, lovely. Very minor shelf wear to extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean if slightly age toned with light scattered spotting to first and last few leaves. One or two spots.
