VICTORIAN LONDON STREET LIFE
In Historic Photographs
By John Thomson
As in many large cities of the period, Victoria London teemed with "street people," many of whom carried out menial tasks that kept a large city functioning. This historic volume, a classic of early photography, offers a striking glimpse into the lives of these lower-class citizens in the late 19th century. Reproduced from a a rare original edition first published in 1877, the present book contains 37 stark and often haunting photographs of the poor taken by famed Victorian photographer John Thomson.
