Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Piccadilly to Pall Mall, Manners, Morals, and Man Those living permanently in a great city are seldom aware of the changes which day by day, hour by hour, transform its appearance and life. What, for lack of a better expression, may be termed the "physiognomy of its streets" is far more clearly visible to the casual visitor or to travellers who have been away for a long period of time. The gradual alteration and obliteration of customs, the demolition and re-erection of buildings, as well as numerous minor changes, are for the most part hardly noticed by the Londoner of to-day, who has rather come to regard them as natural conditions of existence. Meanwhile, Victorian London is vanishing away, whilst the architectural expression of cosmopolitan money power manifests itself in gigantic structures - the outward and visible signs of far-reaching changes in English manners and customs.
