Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art, No. 727, December 1, 1877 by Various, is a window into 19th-century London through the stories of its costermongers—the street vendors who peddled their wares from donkey carts. The publication starts by painting a vivid picture of these workers' role in the vibrant city. It also presents their progress from a poorly regarded group to a more established and respected part of society. It describes how they began to treat their working animals better. Moreover, it touches on their family lives and the impact of organizations and urban missionaries who aimed to help them. It's a commentary on the relationship between the city's economic activity and the human lives caught up in its workings.
