- Abstract
-
Two prostitutes stand on a street identified as the notorious Gunpowder Alley; the one woman on the right with crossed-arms turns her head to talk to a short man. On the left, a man in a shop with a sign over the door "Booth's Best British Gin" pours a glass for a woman who stands at the counter. On the wall behind the two women are posters: "Leakes slavation exploded one small pill is a dose ..." and "Globe Insuranc. Lives & Property saved from Fire."
