Barnes Common - Calling the Carriages, 1872. Carriages leaving after the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race. Jerrold writes: 'It is on the day of the boat-race that the boys of London are seen in all their glory, and in all their astonishing and picturesque varieties... We studied them in all the rich picturesqueness of rags - poor, hungry, idle fellows! - as they worked valiantly, trying to earn a few pence by disentangling the carriages and leading them to their owners after the event of the day was over'. From "London: a pilgrimage", with illustrations by Gustave Doré and text by Blanchard Jerrold, [London: Grant & Co., 1872] (p.64).
