London Characters and the Humorous Side of London Life – William Schwenck Gilbert, c.1870:
[…] there are […] people living in London who live almost alone; who have no society except of a casual, and what may be called an anonymous kind; and whose homes are merely places where they may obtain shelter and rest.
What a hauntingly bleak image of this miniature city
Outstanding shot. I love the composition and tone.
