Covent Garden Market-Early Morning
‘Covent Garden Market-Early Morning’, 1872. Scene at Covent Garden Market showing goods being unloaded from carts. 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.
