This part features two companion volumes published in large format by the Leadenhall Press and illustrated with over three hundred drawings each by William Luker Jr. These volumes offer a captivating depiction of London city centre and its suburbs at the end of the 19th century. The authors of these works were both born and educated in Ireland. William John Loftie, a clergyman and well-known antiquarian, was renowned for his publications on the history of London. Percy Hetherington Fitzgerald, a barrister, sculptor, and prolific writer associated with Charles Dickens, contributed extensively to literature and theatre history. William Luker Jr., like his father, was a genre painter whose pen and ink drawings illustrated numerous books and periodicals of the era. While his illustrations of London's urban scenes were well-regarded, his animal paintings enjoyed particular popularity at the time.

The Queen’s London: A Pictorial and Descriptive Record of the Great Metropolis in the Year of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee (1896; new and rev. ed., 1899)

Views of the Diamond Jubilee Procession • Views of Streets, Buildings, Parks, etc.

By the late nineteenth century, London had become the world’s largest trading city. The first volume includes two trade directories listing key companies and retailers in the capital. Published by the Historical Publishing Company and the London Printing and Engraving Company – both of which also issued similar commercial surveys of Glasgow, Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Birmingham, and other industrial cities and areas – these guides follow an American-style format: blank initial pages for advertisements, followed by a city description, business directory, and index. Businesses likely had to pay for inclusion and copies. Illustrated throughout, these directories provide rare insights into London’s commerce at that time. The second volume, published by Cassell to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, offers a detailed look at 1890s London with a collection of nearly 500 large photographs. First released in 1896, it was revised and expanded in 1899.

This part includes two volumes of a handbook for the London “Season,” written by Charles Eyre Pascoe from 1885 to 1904. Revised annually, it was published every March in London and Boston. The handbook covers London’s contemporary “life and fashion” – hotels, restaurants, state ceremonies, galas, festivals, amusements, streets, and shops – providing “in some way, a record of my own personal experiences.” Both volumes are illustrated with drawings and contemporary advertisements. Pascoe had previously published in Boston a London guide for American travellers and later produced various handbooks on English theatre, schools, professions, and seaside towns.
