In oblungo (21x13 cm); 31 c. di tav. compreso il frontespizio. Legatura editoriale in tutta tela marrone con titolo impresso al piatto anteriore in oro entro ricca cornice, anch’essa dorata, un piccolo difetto al margine basso della cerniera del piatto anteriore. Qualche macchiolina di foxing, un leggero alone al margine esterno bianco di metà delle carte, in parte alle prime tavole ed in parte alle ultime, mai intenso e per il resto, nel complesso, in discrete-buone condizioni di conservazione. Rara raccolta completa di tutte le vedute di Londra edite da Harwood. La tavola del Royal Exchange non segue la numerazione della legenda ma è posta all’inizio del volume all’interno della tavola che rappresenta il frontespizio dell’opera. Harwood, alla metà del XIX° secolo, pubblicò diverse raccolte di vedute dedicate alla Gran Bretagna come il Galles, l’Isola di Jersey, Guernsey, alla zona inglese dei laghi ed altre zone, per il mercato turistico. Le incisioni, sempre dal tratto fine e ricercato, erano disegnate ed incise, in genere, dal noto artista e stampatore inglese, Jhon Shury. Questa raccolta di vedute dedicate a Londra ed ai suoi più celebri monumenti venne realizzata intorno al 1850 (alcune tavole sono datate tra il 1849 ed il 1851). Fra i luoghi ritratti: Porto of London, Great Exhibition, Westminister Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Admiralty, Royal Exchange, Duke of York’s Column, New Hall, Windsor, Nelson Column, Hamton Court, Horse Guards, London fro Greenwich, Somerset House, British Museum, Birmingham Railway, Post Office, House of Parliment, Thames Tunnel, Italian Opera House, Bank. Guildghall. Mansion House, Tower of London ecc. Fra le tavole, molto interessante è quella dedicata al Tunnel sotto il Tamigi, un tunnel sottomarino che collega Rotherhithe e Wapping. L’opera che misurava 35 piedi (11 m) di larghezza per 20 piedi (6 m) di altezza ed era lunga 1.300 piedi (396 m), con una profondità di 75 piedi (23 m) sotto la superficie del fiume misurata con l'alta marea, era stata ideata per il passaggio di carrozze trainate da cavalli. Esso fu il primo tunnel noto per essere stato realizzato con successo sotto un fiume navigabile. La sua costruzione iniziò nel 1825 e terminò nel 1843 utilizzando una nuova tecnologia di scavo ideata da Marc Isambard Brunel e Thomas Cochrane. L’opera è una fra le meno comuni fra quelle pubblicate da Harwood e non è comune da trovare completa di tutte le tavole.
"This was the first book on London's ghosts, when Peter Underwood was President of the Ghost Club. He is uniquely qualified to write Haunted London, presenting a parade and gazetteer of the psychic phenomena of Britain's capital city - a city with nearly ten million living inhabitants and the ghosts of many dead ones.As well as all of the famous hauntings - the Cock Lane ghost, the Grey Man at Drury Lane, the Tower ghosts, the haunted house at Berkeley Square etc. - the book contains many new and hitherto unpublished findings. Not all ghosts date back to earlier centuries: there are ghost motorcyclists, for instance, and new buildings on the sites of older ones are as likely to have ghosts as those which still stand.For easy reference, Haunted London has divided up London geographically. Ghostly associations are uncovered in churches, theaters, hotels, inns and scenes of murders. Poltergeist infestation is another phenomenon included in this work which is sure to fascinate anyone wanting to get to know London better - whether they be visitors, psychic researchers, students of history, of legend or folklore, or simply lovers of one of the world's finest cities." 200p.photos (B & W] Index Book
