'Street Floods in Lambeth'. Mrs Rowlett is standing in front of her rag store. 'The water has taken us down a bit, and the midnight flood was too much for my old man.' The woman with the baby is the wife of a horse-keeper who works from 4 am until 8 pm for 25 shillings (?1.25p) a week. On the right is Jack Smith, who wades through the Thames at low water collecting bits of iron, coal and waste materials to sell.
