Compiling authentic nineteenth-century voices from a multitude of sources, including advertisements, diaries, court cases, journalism and guidebooks, Lee Jackson paints a unique picture of life in a vibrant and diverse city in an alphabetical guide that ranges from A for Advertising Vans (\"devoted to the promulgation of the merits of Holloway's ointment in curing diseased legs\") to Z for Zazel (the world's first human cannonball). With striking contemporary illustrations throughout, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the remarkable history of London and the enthralling lives of the Victorians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892027900055,"sku":"9781843312307","price":1497.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781843312307.webp?v=1781185513","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dictionary-of-victorian-london-hb-an-a-z-of-the-great-metropolis-9781843312307","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
