'Thieves Gambling', 1872. An eager crowd gather round a table, watching a man pointing to a deck of cards laid out on the table. A lantern behind the man lights up their faces, and casts a shadowy light on the figures at the back of the room. 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.
