Street Life in London
John Thomson and Adolphe Smith
First published in 1877, Street Life in London is widely regarded as one of the most significant and far-reaching photobooks ever produced - a ground-breaking work which combines documentary photography, oral history and analysis to confront the realities of urban poverty in Britain.
This new edition presents John Thomson’s exceptional images in all their original detail and richness, alongside the full original text and a new introduction by Emily Kathryn Morgan, Iowa State University.
The authors' aim was to revolutionise the representation of poverty - an approach which, even today, makes the book thrillingly innovative and direct.
