Covent garden market - early morning
An illustration of Covent Garden market in the early morning, from 'London: a Pilgrimage' by Blanchard Jerrold and Gustave Doré, 1872. Jerrold describes Covent Garden market as 'the most famous place of barter in England' where the surrounding streets are 'choked with waggons and barrows... From the tails of carts producers or "higglers" are selling off mountainous loads of cabbages. The air is fragrant with fruit to the north, and redolent of stale vegetables to the south.'
