Description: | London has long attracted visitors from around the world. Due to the shared linguistic and cultural heritage of Britain and the United States, many of these have historically been American. This guidebook to London was produced for American visitors by the tailors D. H. Evans & Co. This guide is fairly typical of those produced in the early 20th Century. It is, above all, a vehicle used to advertise its producers? tailoring services to wealthy American tourists. As such, it provides useful information directed precisely at such people, such as a conversion table of pounds to dollars, and a promise that payments in-store made in dollars will be honoured. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | House of Fraser Ltd. | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | c1907 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
