Pictures from London by Gastave Doré and Jerrold Blanchard, 1872. There are 180 wood engravings in the book; They are widely reprinted, although as so often it’s hard to find good quality scans on the Web, so I am scanning them again. The book was republished as London: A Pilgimage in 1890, and that is the source of the extracts
Doré (often written Doree or Dore) was born in Strasbourg in 1822. He became a very successful artist in Paris, but after meeting Jerrold Blanchard in 1855 started to do more work for the English than the French, and in 1867 moved his studio to London.
Jerrold Blanchard was a journalist working for the Illustrated London News.
The illustrations here are sorted by the order they appear in my fac simile, but it does not contain the original text, and they are not in the same order as in the original book.
Update: The Perseus Project has scans from this book too. They are not particularly good, and may have usage restrictions, but they are higher resolution than I make available on the Web directly (you can always ask me for higher resolution images though)
