Légende

A River Side Street, 1872. Crowded scene with goods being stored in warehouses, and porters gathering in the narrow street. They wear hats with a long flap at the back designed to cover the neck and shoulders and to prevent water and rain from running down the back of the neck. From "London: a pilgrimage", with illustrations by Gustave Doré and text by Blanchard Jerrold, [London: Grant & Co., 1872] (p.18). The artist and author spent days touring the city together, often accompanied by plain clothes policemen. Jerrold led his friend Doré through the "shadows and sunlight of the great world of London".
