The quality is marvelous. They make the past seem much closer; it's as if they've dressed modern-day people in Victorian clothes. I like the man in the top picture who seems to be selling what lookes like boot laces or pieces of hemp. He looks like he's having a chuckle to himself, and I can just imagine that little bare-foot boy today wearing trainers and a baseball cap. If he managed to grow into adulthood, it's likely he would have fought in the 1st World War. These photographs are wonderful. The quality is marvelous.

A moment captured, these people continued to live and eventually die. We have replaced them, but our days are numbered and we too will be replaced. Powerful stuff, photography! captivating indeed – it’s rare to see such an early photo of an everyday scene which seems to capture something of the subjects’ emotions.

The lower picture is Dawson St, with the Theatre Royal jutting out into Williamson Square. The image of the ragged trousered and barefooted child, is captivating.
