Description:
'London, A Pilgrimage' emerged as a partnership between the French artist Gustave Dore and the English journalist Blanchard Jerrold. Rather than producing a conventional guidebook, the creators set out to capture the immense scale, energy, and social stratification of the 19th century metropolis. Dore spent time wandering the streets of London, sketching diverse scenes ranging from the opulent crowds at the Derby to the destitute quarters of the East End. Dore captures the beautiful, gothic darkness of the city.
