Summary: "London Labour and the London Poor, Vol. 1" by Henry Mayhew is a historical account published in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a cyclopedia detailing the conditions and experiences of various social classes in London, with a particular focus on the street folk such as sellers, buyers, performers, and laborers. It aims to document their lives, labor habits, earnings, and the struggles they face in the bustling metropolis, providing insights into a largely misunderstood segment of society. At the start of the volume, Mayhew introduces the concept of the street-folk and categorizes them into specific groups, including street-sellers, street-performers, and street-laborers, among others. He emphasizes how the lives of these individuals reflect broader social issues like poverty, vice, and the challenges of urban living. The opening remarks touch upon the historical roots of wandering tribes versus settled populations, establishing a framework for understanding the street-dwelling communities within London. This section vividly portrays the harsh realities faced by these groups, setting the tone for the exploration of their diverse lifestyles and economic activities throughout the volume.
