"London As It Is" is a notable work by the English artist Thomas Shotter Boys, first published in 1842. This collection of lithographs is celebrated for its detailed and picturesque representation of mid-19th century London. Boys, who was both a skilled watercolorist and lithographer, captured the essence of the city during a period of significant transformation and growth. His work provides a valuable historical record of London's architecture, streetscapes, and daily life during the Victorian era.

The lithographs in "London As It Is" are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, which was innovative for the time. Boys employed a technique known as chromolithography, which allowed for the production of multi-colored prints. This method was relatively new and complex, making Boys' work not only artistically significant but also a technical achievement in the field of printmaking.

The scenes depicted in "London As It Is" include iconic landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament, as well as more everyday scenes of markets, streets, and the bustling life along the River Thames. Each lithograph is accompanied by descriptive text, providing context and insights into the locations and their significance.

Thomas Shotter Boys' work is highly regarded for its artistic quality and historical value. "London As It Is" remains an important resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the visual history of London. The collection offers a window into the past, showcasing the city's rich architectural heritage and the vibrancy of its urban life during a pivotal era.
