Sketches in London and the suburbs during the snowstorm, Tuesday, January 18, 1881. 'The Storm sweeping the sweepers on the Serpentine; "no fresh milk today but 'ere's some verry nice condensed milk!"; Snowed out of home. The kitchen shovel to the rescue; Express!; Cutting his way in; Abandoned; Rescued; A man ratepayers expect will do his duty; sketch in a leading thoroughfare; Arrival in London; A cold reception...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'. From Illustrated London News", 1881.
