A Ball at the Mansion House shellfish shows figures in the gardens

shows figures in the gardens and a band playing in the bandstand

and at right a man pushes a raft up the river

while on the ground Honour and Honesty are flogged by Self Interest and Villainy

with a crown

A Ball at the Mansion House shellfish shows figures in the gardens'A Ball at the Mansion House', 1872. Interior view of Mansion House in London during a ball. Taken from London: A Pilgrimage by Blanchard Jerrold and Gustave Dor. A Pilgrimage was a comprehensive portrait of London, but although the book was a commercial success many of the critics disliked it. Several were upset that Jerrold and Dor had concentrated on the poverty that existed in London.
