Londons sewers could be called the citys forgotten underground: mostly invisible subterranean spaces of absolutely vital importance that nonetheless rarely get the same degree of attention as the Tube. Paul Dobraszczyk here outlines the fascinating history of Londons sewers from the nineteenth century onwards; using a rich variety of colour illustrations; photographs and newspaper engravings to show their development from medieval spaces to the complex; modern citywide network; largely constructed in the 1860s; that is still in place today. This book explores Londons sewers in history; fiction and film; including how they entice intrepid explorers into their depths; from the Victorian period to the present day.

She loved it and has been using is constantly since receiving. After using this book for guidance; shes now drawing her own manga chibis freehand. The directions are clear and easy enough that our 7 yr old can follow them; too. Love that this book also includes helpful information for budding artists such as sketching and color tips.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
