London is London: A Selection of Prose and Verse (Illustrated by Edward Bawden)

First edition. 1949 literary anthology edited by classicist D. M. Low, illustrated by Edward Bawden. A nostalgic, multi-century literary tour of the city, the book brings together a rich mixture of poetry, diary entries, letters, and narrative sketches that span several eras of London’s history. Wrapper shows signs of wear with some segments of loss and foxing to rear. Some toning to endpapers, otherwise very good.
