<\/p>\n“When a man is tired of London, is tired of life,” said Samuel Johnson in his famous line. London’s remarkable history, architecture, landmarks, streets, style, moderns, sufferers, and passionate residents are depicted in hundreds of fascinating photographs drawn from a wide variety of archives around the world in the book ‘London Portrait of a City \u00bb by Reuel Golden, from TASCHEN. London is a vast metropolis, constantly evolving and developing, but throughout its complex past and changing present, the humor, uniqueness, and bulldog spirit of the people have remained constant. This book salutes all these Londoners, their city, and its history. In addition to the wealth of images contained within, many previously unpublished, London’s story is told through hundreds of excerpts, lively essays, and references from major films, books, and records.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From Victorian London to the Swinging 60s, the Battle of Britain to Punk, from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics. From the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium. From folk pubs to private clubs. From royal weddings to raves, from the glamour of the East End to the wonders of Westminster. From Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters. From power to glory: page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced as big and bold as the city itself, London is finally getting the photographic tribute it deserves.<\/p>\n
