PICARD, LIZA. INTRODUCED BY JENNY UGLOW.

Restoration London: Everyday Life in London, 1660 - 1670.

London. The Folio Society. 2012. First Edition Thus. Tall 8vo. Decorative Cloth. pp: [i] - xxii, 1 - 320. Frontisppiece and three eight-page inserts of colour illustrations taken from contemporary, art works, manuscripts and books. Colour printed endpapers depicting London from Southwark, 1626 - 1655. Notes, Index. Bound in full red buckram illustrated with a design by Neil Gower executed in gilt and metallic red. Titled in gilt to the spine. Housed in a plain gold slipcase. In 1660, London seethed with a population of 300,000. In Europe only Paris and Constantinople were larger. King Charles II - a lover of women and of good living - was on the throne, and the streets were crowded with velvet-clad noblemen making their way to the reopened theatres. Watermen plied their trade along the River Thames between the Palace of Westminster and the City, and in the newly fashionable St James's Park, Londoners took the air by day and sought other - illicit - pleasures at night. Originally published in 1997 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. A fine copy. Fine/Slipcase, Fine.
