Description:

An illustrated PDF-format ebook album of early photos of London, mainly late 19th century / early 20th. Includes monchrome, sepia, hand-tinted and colortint images by publishers such as Tuck. This electronic edition contains over one hundred period photos, mainly captioned postcards of Victorian and Edwardian London, plus Londoners, the River Thames, and all the famous monuments (Tower, Parliament, Westminster, Piccadilly, St Paul's, Buckingham Palace, Strand, Regent Street), including period cabs, buses and busy street scenes. This "virtual tour" slideshow opens by default in Acrobat's rolling presentation mode, with random transition effects between each of the images - a veritable magic lantern show for the digital age - an ebook with a difference! Includes color as well as black and white images. The show takes ten minutes, before looping back to the start. You can interrrupt at any point to linger longer over any of the pictures. Supplied as a PDF file, for Acrobat Reader.
