So what was it really like to live in #Victorian #London? Of course, it depended on your circumstances. Here'e a cross-section of Londoners on a bench in St James's Park, observed by George Pinwell https://victorianweb.org/painting/pinwell/drawings/4.html #painting

Different classes of people: poor mother and child with musical instruments, looking worn out (after busking, presumably), elderly gent looking downcast, soldier fliting with a nursemaid, bored rich children etc. Other types in the background--such a range.
