Sketches in London and the suburbs during the snowstorm, Tuesday, January 18, 1881. 'A unicorn cab; newsboy; greengrocers sledge; sweep your doorway; suburban resident; Hansom tandem; Grays Inn rooks; helping hands...Not for many years past has the southern part of Great Britain felt a wintry storm to be compared in violence and long continuance with that of Tuesday in last week. Its effects in London and the Home Counties were beyond example within the recollection of middle-aged persons...We devote the larger number of our Illustrations, this week, to the subject which has chiefly occupied the attention of society in and around the metropolis, during the past ten days'.
