Cartoon - The New Workhouse Porter
At a workhouse entrance, a policeman interrogates two applicants for admission - a woman and small child. Nearby, Master Prig, clearly a regular of the workhouse tramp ward, bemoans the new centralisation - an effort by London workhouse authorities to curtail vagrants continually moving from one workhouse to another
