Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Osbert Lancaster (illustrator). First Edition. [a good sound copy, light wear to cloth at spine ends, vintage bookseller's label (Books / Jean French) on front pastedown; jacket lightly edgeworn, a few tiny nicks along top edge, very shallow paper loss at top of spine]. (B&W photographs) "The first pictorial survey of the Victorian Age to be compiled solely through the medium of photography" -- a concept the publishers apparently believed to be so novel that they felt it necessar to italicize that whole descriptive phrase in their jacket blurb. Nevertheless, it really is a charming book -- all the more so when one realizes that when it was originally published, the era it so lovingly chronicles was still within the vivid living memory of a substantial part of its target audience (well, the British part, anyway).
