'Newgate-Exercise Yard', 1872. View of prisoners excercising at Newgate Prison, Old Bailey, London. Taken from "London: A Pilgrimage" by Blanchard Jerrold and Gustave Doré. "A Pilgrimage" was a comprehensive portrait of London, but although the book was a commercial success many of the critics disliked it. Several were upset that Jerrold and Doré had concentrated on the poverty that existed in London.
