Published as far back as 1904, this book features as a historical emblem of 65 years in the bookselling and publishing industry. E.Marston depicts the 19th century evolution of the publishing firm Sampson Low, Marston & Co. disclosing internal knowledge about numerous bestselling authors we nowadays define as “classics”. Some of these include: Jules Verne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Wilkie Collins, Thomas Carlyle, G. A. Henty, Charles Dickens as well as many more. ‘After Work’ also proves to be an ancient monument to multidisciplinary arts as it presents itself enhanced by 26 illustrations, one of which was designed by Jules Verne himself.
