Group outside of public house, Whitechapel, London
Hookey Alf'. A public house in Whitechapel. Alf, on the right, has a hook on his left arm. A healthy woman of the people is not to be disturbed from her enjoyment of a drop of beer... and acclimatizes her infant to the fumes of alcohol and tobacco.... A little girl has penetrated boldly into the group as if to reclaim some relation in danger and drag him away from evil companionship
