About This Item
London: London Stereoscope and Photographic Company Ltd, 1889. An attractive collection of 25 published albumen photographs of London, photographed and published by the London Stereoscope company. Original red cloth with gilt titles to the front board. There is some bumping and water staining to the front board particularly. The title page and some page edges are a little foxed, but the images themselves are in very good condition. The pages are each bound in, album style. This is weak in parts, and has been reinforced, but overall is sound. images are 13.5 x 21 cm each. The usual London landmarks are all represented, on streets which seem very empty to the modern eye, and populated by pedestrians, horses and carriages. Album is 300 by 220mm (11¾ by 8¾ inches). .
