Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Reprint. A facsimile edition of the famous book of views of London first published by Thomas Shepherd in 1827-31. Some very slight fading to spine, corners very slightly rubbed, not issued with jacket, pictorial boards, a very good tight clean square copy. 172pp illustrated. James Elmes (1782-1862), the son of a builder, trained at the Royal Academy Schools as an architectural designer, but his career encompassed publishing and writing on architecture as well. A friend of Benjamin Robert Haydon and his circle, he was the first publisher (in his Annals of Fine Arts) of Keats' most famous odes. He was also the first biographer of Sir Christopher Wren and in this work he celebrates the architectural developments of the Regency (the book is dedicated to George IV), which he clearly feels are as beautiful and as transformative of the cityscape as were Wren's new buildings after the Great Fire of 1666. The illustrations are by architectural draughtsman Thomas H. Shepherd (1793-1864), and the volume's success led to his producing several more books of views of modern cities, including Edinburgh, Bath and Bristol. Quite scarce in this early reprinted edition. Steel engravings after Thomas Shepherd (illustratore).…
