| Summary | "Drawings of Old London" by Philip Norman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a catalog of architectural drawings that document characteristic examples of old London architecture, primarily focusing on inns and public houses that have largely been lost to time. It provides valuable insights into the history and design of various buildings in London, making it a rich resource for both historians and architecture enthusiasts. The opening of the text introduces readers to the purpose of the compilation, emphasizing its significance as a record of structures that have either been demolished or significantly altered. It describes how these drawings were created directly from the buildings themselves, providing a visual documentation of London's architectural heritage. The initial portion outlines various notable inns, such as the infamous Elephant and Castle and the White Hart, detailing their historical relevance, architectural features, and anecdotes that contribute to their charm and significance in the cultural fabric of London. Still, these landmarks reflect a London that has largely transformed, positioning the work as an essential reflection on the city's architectural evolution.
