'Warehousing in the City', 1872; showing warehouse workers using rope pulleys to hoist barrels and packages at a warehouse in the City of London. 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.
