Finally a new edition of this splendid book, which sheds light on the decadent, complex history of this venerable road. Within years of Wilde praising its ‘wonderful possibilities’, and Whistler claiming it as ‘the birthplace for art’, it lost its place at the heart of London’s bohemia, leaving the latter bankrupt and the former jailed. The street in question is of course Tite Street, just down the road from Sandoe’s.
