Dickens' London brought to life: Fascinating snapshot of Victorian street traders taken at the dawn of photography

The hard-hitting collection of London life in 1877 was taken by photography pioneer John Thomson

Was one of the first photo projects to focus on working-class people and not the aristocracy or landscapes

They are images of devastating poverty and life on London's streets that look like they come straight from the pages of a Charles Dickens book.

The collection, taken by pioneering photojournalist John Thomson in 1877, show what life was really like for thousands of Londoners in Victorian Britain.

Unlike most pictures taken at the time, they show the daily grind and backbreaking work undertaken by the capital's working-classes.

Thomson took the 36 photographs between 1877 and 1878 and published them in a monthly serial over 12 parts.

The book is going under the hammer on Thursday at Gloucestershire auctioneers Dominic Winter and is expected to sell for between £4,000 and £6,000.

' One of the photographs shows a lady who looks very ill, she was dying.

John Thomson made his name as one of the first photographers to travel to the Far East where he documented the people, landscapes and artifacts of eastern cultures.

"In 1834, John Dickens sent this begging letter to his friend Thomas Beard.

He asks for a loan of two sovereigns.

He wrote, 'I ask you sir to oblige me with the loan of two sovereigns, until the first proximo.'

That's the first of next month.

John Dickens uses an excuse - saying he needs the large sum of money for shoe repairs.

We believe that Thomas Beard did loan him the cash."

Compelled by personal financial difficulties, Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in only six weeks, during a period of intense creativity in fall 1843. The original manuscript of A Christmas Carol reveals Dickens's method of composition, allowing us to see the author at work. The pace of writing and revision, apparently contiguous, is urgent, rapid, and boldly confident. Deleted text is struck out with a cursive and continuous looping movement of the pen and replaced with more active verbs-to achieve greater vividness or immediacy of effect- and fewer words for concision. This heavily revised sixty-six-page draft-the only manuscript of the story-was sent to the printer in order for the book to be published on 19 December, just in time for the Christmas market.

When the manuscript of A Christmas Carol was returned by the printer, Dickens sent it to a bookbinder (possibly Thomas Robert Eeles of Cursitor Street, London), who bound it in crimson morocco, a handsome, durable goatskin leather. The binding is elegantly decorated in gilt, and the name "Thomas Mitton Esqre" is stamped in gilt on the front cover. Dickens presented the bound manuscript to Mitton, his close friend and creditor, possibly as a Christmas gift, and most probably in gratitude for the generous loan of £270 in the preceding six months.

On Christmas Eve in 19th-century London, Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Scrooge McDuck) is a surly money-lender who objects to the merriment of Christmas. He declines his nephew Fred (Donald Duck)'s an invitation to Christmas dinner, then brushes off two gentlemen (Rat and Mole) fundraising aid for the poor.
