doubleshuffle · 10-19-2017, 04:04 AM

A beautiful picture book of London, published in 1898, showcasing the photogravures of William Hyde (1857-1925) accompanied by nine perceptive essays by poet and essayist Alice Meynell (1847-1922).

Sourced from a scan at the Internet Archive.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful writing, and all for free.

EDIT 6 Nov 2017:
Added version "1ar". All images are "right side up", making this the edition for readers that auto-rotate the screen view when the device is turned.

Thanks for the thanks. Glad you enjoy it.

I liked the book but my reader rotates the images as I rotate the device. It would be nice if you could make a version of the book with all the images going the same direction.

It would be far better, of course, if you could switch off auto-rotate on your reader - most of the "horizontal" images are much wider than high, so they will turn out very small if I rotate them by 90 degrees.

I will make such a version. But it's going to take a few days till I get around to it.

Finally uploaded the promised "auto-rotate" version.

Thank you very much. It works especially well with Adobe on my Windows desktop so long as I don't make it too wide. Too wide and the reading software switches to 2 column mode and the image suddenly shrinks. Of course this is not a problem with the book itself.
