London: Portrait of a City

Samuel Johnson famously said that when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life — and Taschen makes a compelling case. London: Portrait of a City gathers photographs from archives around the world to trace the city from Victorian cobblestones to the Swinging Sixties and beyond, with essays and cultural references woven throughout. Royal weddings, East End charm, architectural milestones — all present and accounted for.
