Légende

'Scripture Reader in a Night Refuge', 1872. A man stands in the gangway reading a passage from the scriptures. Either side of him the poor and destitute huddle under blankets. 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.
