Recenzii
'In this admirably fresh and important work, Monteyne firmly locates the print output of later seventeenth-century London within the confines of its immediate Metropolitan birthplace. From the ashes of traditional art-historians' neglect, a picture of the City itself rises. Here, for the first time, the sensational depictions of the anti-Catholic processions of the early 1680s, the extraordinary Frost Fair held on the Thames during the winter of 1683/4, the important new institution of the Coffee House, the Great Fire and the periodic plagues are discussed in proper detail. This is a book no historian of seventeenth-century English culture can afford to ignore.' Malcolm Jones, University of Sheffield, UK
Monteyne has read widely in social, religious and political history; in art history, literary theory and urban sociology; and employs a wide range of visual and textual sources to good effect. The result is a fantastic book that guides the reader from one interesting idea to the next through a series of insightful connections, much like a tourist navigating the metropolis by its landmarks. I hope this book will become a classic text for all scholars of early modern London. Journal of the Printing Historical Society

Descriere
Presenting an inventive body of research that explores the connections between urban movements, space, and visual representation, this study offers the first sustained analysis of the vital interrelationship between printed images and urban life in early modern London. It is distinguished by its close and sustained readings of individual prints, complemented with a thorough examination of the dynamics of print production as a commercial exchange.
