From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 6 features a crossing sweeper asking for gratuity from a lady near Trafalgar Square in London, England. Street sweepers would clear a path ahead of a person in exchange for money, and were a common site in cities throughout Europe. Cities at the time were very dirty due to horse-drawn carriages and overcrowding. Typically it was a low class child, and many considered them to be a nuisance. One account describes street sweeping as "one of those occupations resorted to as an excuse for begging" and it was punished with imprisonment (Mayhew 465). Trafalgar Square, located in the center of the city, features Nelson's Column in the center. Four lions surround Nelson's Column. Early construction of the square began in 1840, and Nelson's Column was completed in 1867. References A related resource that is referenced, cited, or otherwise pointed to by the described resource.
