35 Amazing Vintage Photographs That Capture Street Life of London in the Late 19th Century - Old Britannia

These incredible snapshots of life of Londoners were taken by photojournalist John Thomson from 1876 to 1877. The pictures of Dickensian poverty on the streets of London show the grim reality of life in Victorian Britain.

John Thomson was a talented and influential photographer, who had spent ten years traveling in, and taking photographs of, the Far East. On his return to London he joined with Adolphe Smith, a socialist journalist, in a project to photograph the street life of the London poor. The volumes were published in monthly parts as Street Life in London, and were an early example of social and documentary photography.
