London Scene from the Strand: Aspects of Victorian London Culled from the "Strand Magazine" - Hardcover
The atmosphere of London in the last years of Queen Victoria's reign is fascinatingly evoked in this collection of articles taken from early issues of the Strand Magazine, and the Editor presents a variety of London scenes and institutions towards the close of the last century. Some of these objects and institutions have survived to this day, even if much changed, while others have vanished physically and yet remain clearly etched in the corporate memory of Londoners. This is the scope of the articles: THE STORY OF THE STRAND; THE METROPOLITAN FIRE BRIGADE; STREET MUSICIANS; AT THE ANIMALS' HOSPITAL; A NIGHT WITH THE THAMES POLICE; ACTORS' DRESSING ROOMS; A DAY WITH AN EAST-END PHOTOGRAPHER; OLD STONE SIGNS OF LONDON; CHILD WORKERS IN LONDON; A NIGHT IN AN OPIUM DEN; THE HOME FOR LOST DOGS; IN LEADENHALL MARKET; A BOHEMIAN ARTISTS' CLUB; AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL; UNDERGROUND LONDON; STREET-CORNER MEN.
