The range of artistic production in the Victorian ageincluded history painting; topographical landscapes of the Continentand the Middle East; Landseer's royal portraits and heroic animalpictures; Pre-Raphaelite painting with its combined naturalism andsymbolism; Leighton's classical mythologies; and Frith's populardepictions of the leisured middle classes. Amid this great variety ofstyles and emphasis, influential critics such as Ruskin dictated thatart should be morally uplifting, an orthodoxy challenged by Whistler,Sickert, Steer and their fellows among the "London Impressionists".

- The ultimate insider's guide to Liverpool- Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides- Part of the international 111 Places/111 Shops series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide- Appeals to both the local market (nearly half a million people call Liverpool home) and the tourist market (about 5 million people visit Liverpool every year!)- Fully illustrated with 111 full-page color photographs- Revised and updated editionLiverpool's unique history as an international port and a cultural melting pot has given it a character all its own. The city has produced music that conquered the world and is home to more historic buildings than any other British metropolis outside London. It features two magnificent cathedrals and many world famous museums. But beyond its renowned exterior, is an eclectic assortment of places hidden and unknown. This deliciously offbeat guidebook will lead you to a different Liverpool: down tunnels, up skyscrapers, and into secret bars, speciality shops, and disused factories. You will see Balenciaga trainers and vintage planes, rolling bridges and disappearing statues, Liver birds and celebrity suitcases, home-baked cakes and cast-iron churches. Stroll under the palms in a magical glasshouse, explore a 1950s kitchen or a museum of false teeth. Relax in a hip tea bar with over 50 varieties of tea (loose leaf naturally). Marvel at the world's most expensive book or largest brick building (27 million bricks!). Go underground to explore a network of mysterious tunnels or a perfectly preserved World War II bunker. Drink in a prison cell, picnic in a graveyard, or stay in the hotel where Winston Churchill and Bob Dylan were guests. Think you know Liverpool? Think again! Whether you're a long-time local, a first-time tourist, or a repeat visitor, prepare to be charmed and intrigued by 111 eccentric and unusual spots you'd never expect to find in the city best known for football and the Fab Four.
