Summary

This collection of twenty-three essays, each accompanied by a sketch by the popular French artist Paul Gavarni, was originally published in 1849 and provides a unique perspective on public life in London in the 1840s. This period reflects an early Victorian society which had not yet fully abandoned Georgian excesses for the sensibilities of a rather later age. The essays therefore document contemporary perceptions of an urban society at one point in its transition to a modern form.
