Excerpt from Old London Street Cries and the Cries of to-Day: With Heaps of Quaint Cuts Including Hand-Coloured Frontispiece

In the books there is usually a cut on each page, with a cry printed above or underneath, and in addi tion a verse of descriptive poetry, which, if not of the highest order, serves its purpose.

With his machine and ass to help To draw the frame along, Pray mark the razor-grinder's yelp The burden of his song. His patched umbrella quick aloft He mounts if skies should lower, Then laughing whirls his wheel full oft, Nor heeds the falling shower.
