Included are amazingly perceptive sketches of workaday London, busy marketplaces, the Christy Minstrels, thieves gambling, the Devil's Acre in Westminster, flower girls, waifs and strays, a wedding at the Abbey, prisoners in the Newgate exercise yard, and many other scenes. Widely regarded as Dore's greatest work, these illustrations will delight admirers of the artist and anyone fascinated by the London of a bygone era.
