This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a street locksmith works at his portable workbench on a cobblestone London street, as a young boy looks on. This image is from the 'Street Life in London' series by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith, a groundbreaking work of social documentary photography from the 1870s.
