Description

London Unfurled by Matteo Pericoli is a unique portrait of London, told through two 37-foot-long pen-and-ink drawings depicting the city's north and south banks. Along its 20-mile journey along the Thames, from Hammersmith Bridge to the Millennium Dome and back again, Pericoli captured the essence of this complex city in all its diversity. The result is a breathtaking work of art, presented on a single sheet accordion-style book. Each drawing reveals a distinct profile of London, with over 1,000 buildings, including iconic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern, and Battersea Power Station. Pericoli's drawings complement and question each other, bringing new insights into this impressive city. This beautiful book will deepen your understanding of London and rekindle your fascination with its many wonders.
