The Tom and Jerry stand arm in arm, watching a scene of 'drunkenness, beggary, lewdness and carelessness-a complete picture of "Low Life" (in Wych Street, Strand). A woman climbs over the back of a bench to fight another as mugs and plates fly. On the fire (right) is a huge pot with a tap, at which a man fills a mug. A battered prostitute toasts a muffin. One man, of 'shabby-genteel' appearance, 'was once one of the gayest young swells upon the town'. Over the fire are cracked pictures: Innocence and Virtue. Mugs are stacked on shelves
