Caption

'Covent Garden Market', 1864. A view of the early morning bustle of the market with baskets of vegetables, and people crowding the street. This view is taken from James Street on the north-east side of the Piazza. London's famous fruit and vegetable market was moved south of the River Thames and Covent Garden now offers more expensive craft items and clothing.
