Description Cartoon, Dirty Father Thames
Details

Cartoon, Dirty Father Thames. He stands in the river hooking detritus and rubbish floating there -- old shoes and boots, dead fish, bottles, dead mice and rats. An accompanying poem begins: "Filthy river, filthy river, Foul from London to the Nore, What art thou but one vast gutter, One tremendous common shore?"
