LONDON: Italian Street Musicians: Regarded by journalist Adolphe Smith as rather more swarthy and talented than the ??ssqualid and degraded fellow-countrymen who swarm in our streets???, young Italians would often entertain assembled crowds in London and earn a better wage as a busker in England than a labourer in Italy. INCREDIBLE colourised photos bring all aspects of Victorian London to life ??" including street sellers, child labourers, and busking musicians. The expertly colourised pictures, which were taken in the 1870s, the same decade that the famous British author Charles Dickens passed away, show a bustling London full of character ??" including flower women selling their wares at Covent Garden; posturing police officers on a recruitment drive at Westminster; and a shoeshine boy doing his best to earn enough money to buy some supper. The photos, portraying all walks of life in the UK capital 150 years ago, have been vividly brought to life by Grant Kemp, a graphic designer with over two decades of experience in his field.
