Summary

"London as seen by Charles Dana Gibson" by Charles Dana Gibson is a visual and written exploration of London in the late 1800s, depicting the city and its people through the eyes of an American artist. The book shows the culture and society of London, with detailed sketches and commentary on everything from busy city streets to social class differences. It is both a record of what it was like to visit and live in London during this time period, and it provides a unique view of the differences between American and British perspectives. Gibson captures the vibrancy of London through its landmarks and the everyday lives of its citizens, focusing on the atmosphere of places like Hyde Park, theaters, and royal events such as those at Buckingham Palace, all to give readers an understanding of London's charm as seen through Gibson's eyes.
