“A Peep into the Past”: Brighton in the Olden Time, with glances at the present, etc. [With plates, including portraits
A local history of Brighton by newspaper proprietor John George Bishop, published by him in the town in 1880 for residents and visitors curious about the old fishing settlement beneath the resort. The 29 plates are fine-line engravings of timbered street frontages, coaching inns, and the 1850 storm flooding Pool Valley, with small figures giving scale and legible caption lettering beneath.
