'Under the Arches', 1872, showing tramps sitting up against the wall of the arch. The riverbank slopes away to the water's edge, where people are sleeping in a moored boat. The masts of ships are outlined against the cloudy night sky. 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.
