问题     The right combination of bricks, mortar and plaster can be mixed to build a city, but it is the city’s people who add that extra dimension which makes it vibrant, memorable, famous and much-visited. London is such a city, and a major exhibition about its people makes this point by pulling together paintings, drawings and prints by artists over the centuries to show Londoners from all walks of life and in all manners of settings. The capital’s renowned old markets, most now gone, like Covent Garden and Billingsgate, captured the eye of painters because of the extraordinarily disparate range of characters mingling together. Processions and ceremonial events were popular subjects, although many artists were inspired by the individuals they saw. the street traders, laborers, merchants, craftsmen, society folk, servants, visiting foreigners, the very poor, the old, and the criminals. There is a book which accompanies the show and from which In Britain has chosen its illustrations. Londoners is published by Thames and Hudson, 30 34 Bloomsbury street, London WC1B 3QP. Telephone 01-6365488. It has 237 illustrations, 20 in color. £20 in hardback, £9.95 paperback. Available post-free direct from the publishers to addresses overseas, or from bookshops in the UK.
