By the end of the seventeenth century, the City of London was already by far the most important centre of trade and finance in the world. This financial and commercial supremacy was reflected in some of the most impressive architecture and public sculpture of the last 300 years. With over 420 photographs and over 550 pages, Philip Ward-Jackson's book is a unique survey of one of the most architecturally exciting and diverse cities in the world. This is volume 7 of a series that will eventually cover the whole of Britain. First Edition 2003 by Liverpool University Press. Soft cover, light signs of wear but still good solid copy.
