It weaves together the social, cultural, and architectural elements of London, providing insights into the lives of its citizens and the legacy of its structures. The content is organized around illustrations accompanied by descriptive text of iconic locations and the associated street cries that characterize the city. Limner introduces readers to a range of public edifices, such as the Tower of London, the Bank of England, and Westminster Abbey, while simultaneously documenting the colorful interactions of street vendors selling goods like matchsticks, cherries, and baked potatoes.
