London in Fragments: A Mudlark’s Treasures by Ted Sandling
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 35.3MB
Overview: Mudlarking, searching the Thames foreshore, has a long tradition: mudlarks used to be small boys grubbing a living from scrap. Today’s mudlarks unearth relics of the past, from Roman tiles to elegant Georgian pottery.
Here are Edward Sandling’s most evocative finds, gorgeously photographed. Together they create a mosaic of everyday London life through the centuries. There are two themes behind the account: celebrating the beauty of small things, and making sense of the intangible connection that found objects give us to the individuals who lost them.
An evocative and detailed text will place the fragments in the objects they came from, and place the objects in the flow of London’s history. The book concludes with advice on how to start mudlarking.
