Summary "Picturesque London" by Percy Fitzgerald is a descriptive work that falls under the category of a historical account, likely written in the late 19th century. This book serves as an exploration of London's artistic treasures and architectural beauties, presenting the city as rich in picturesque elements, much like its more famous European counterparts. Fitzgerald offers his impressions of various notable sites and lesser-known gems, aiming to inspire readers to appreciate the often-overlooked charm of the city. The beginning of "Picturesque London" lays the groundwork for this exploration by emphasizing the author's desire to act as a sympathetic guide to the city's sights. Fitzgerald discusses his years of discovery, recounting the richness and variety of London’s artistic heritage, and often contrasting the traditional guidebook approach with a more personal interpretation of beauty and character. The preface sets an inviting tone and details Fitzgerald’s intention to enrich the reader’s experience through vivid descriptions and an appreciation for the hidden wonders of the city's history and architecture, leading into a depiction of St. Margaret’s Church in Westminster. While planning to explore renowned landmarks and quaint corners alike, the author hints at the multiplicity of perspectives through which one can understand London, setting a warm and engaging backdrop for the subsequent chapters.
