Country Series: Victorian Britain - Softcover
It was a remarkable age, lively and full of changes--though now, we may see it only through the lens of Dickens, full of poverty and injustice. That's only half the story, however; and here's the other half, bursting with the spirit and excitement that also distinguished Victorian Britain. Meet the people who defined the time, from Darwin to Marx to Queen Victoria herself, and see their homes and castles, as well as the statues erected in their honor. Here are the 19th-century architectural marvels--elegant fountains in Liverpool, the Manchester town hall, the marvelous streetscapes, gardens, and arcades, and topping it all off the cathedral-like St. Pancras Station. From model housing to palatial factories, from mighty bridges to seaside piers, a brilliant portrait of a dynamic period emerges. 160 pages (all in color), 9 7/8 x 6 5/16.
