The blind school, Southwark: with a bustling street scene. Lithograph by L. Haghe, ca.1835, after J. Johnson.

The School for the Indigent Blind was rebuilt in 1834 in the then fashionable neo-Gothic style

Among the incidents which crowd this print a brewer's dray is delivering barrels of beer to the public house on the corner, the crossing sweeper is helping two ladies across the junction and being rewarded for his pains, passengers alight from the King William coach as a placard-carrier looks on: his sign reads "Civit Cat"
