Summary

Description
English: The crawlers, 1876 - 1877. Woodburytype, by John Thomson.
According to Street Life in London: "Old 'Scotty' ... had been the wife of a wealthy man who spent all his money before dying, leaving her penniless and one of London's 'crawlers' (beggars). She told John Thomson: 'I am becoming more accustomed to it now ... What, however, I cannot endure, is the awful lazy, idle life I am forced to lead; it is a thousand times worse than the hardest labour, and I would much rather my hands were cut, blistered, and sore with toil, than, as you see them, swollen, and red, and smarting from the exposure to the sun, the rain, and the cold.'"
