Mensen in Londen is a pictorial hardcover photobook published in 1959 by Van Loghum Slaterus in Arnhem. The work features photography by Nico Jesse, who was known for his ability to move naturally among various social strata as both a physician and an artist. The accompanying text was written by Daan van der Vat. The book contains 14 pages of text accompanied by 112 black-and-white photographs capturing the diverse inhabitants of London. It is noted for its candid, observational style, with Jesse's subjects often appearing unposed. This edition is a rare and collectible example of mid-century Dutch photography, documenting urban life in one of Europe's major capitals.
