Photographer Joe Whitlock Blundell's lens captures London's most celebrated statues in stunning, atmospheric detail, while writer Roger Hudson provides the rich contextual narrative that animates each figure, chronicling the stories of the kings, generals, poets, and visionaries immortalised in stone across the capital.\n\nPublished by The Folio Society in 1998, this sumptuously produced volume presents a compelling intersection of art history, biography, and urban geography. Hudson's authoritative text argues that these sculptures are far more than civic decoration — they are frozen moments of national memory, each one a portrait of the values, conflicts, and aspirations of the era that created it. Together, Blundell and Hudson illuminate a city within a city, an open-air gallery hiding in plain sight, and leave the reader wondering just how many immortals they have walked past without a second glance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736306323675,"sku":"2026100010449-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1d0b0756-3437-4819-a2d8-e3fa7c024fff.png?v=1792122766","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010449-secondhand-the-immortals-londons-finest-statues","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
