Description:
Through the eyes of its inhabitants, this work portrays the 19th-century underworld, a place of "night houses" and cigar divans, of street people like the running-patterer with his news of murder, and entertainers like the Fire-King. It looks at the criminals, growth of prostitution and prisons.
