From the Daily Mail:
Street sellers, child labourers and busking musicians from Victorian London have been vividly brought to life in a series of fascinating colourised images.
The photos were taken in the 1870's, the decade Charles Dickens passed away, by Scottish photographer John Thomson and give a glimpse into the daily grind of life in the capital over 150 years ago. Unlike most pictures released at the time, the pictures depict poverty and the backbreaking work undertaken by London's working class.

Such bleakness for the real "Liza Doolittles" and working-class men. No way to be clean or to wear clean clothes.
