The Tide of Business in the City, 1872. Crowded scene with goods being stored in warehouses, and horses and carts squeezing along the narrow street. From "London: a pilgrimage", with illustrations by Gustave Doré and text by Blanchard Jerrold, [London: Grant & Co., 1872] (p.x). 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".
