About this work

This print shows a crowded London street at night. Gas lamps flicker. A man in a top hat laughs with friends. A woman in a shawl watches from a doorway. It’s one of 36 prints for Pierce Egan’s book *Real Life in London*. The text follows two men exploring the city’s wild side. The artist, George Cruikshank, drew this scene with sharp lines and humor.
