The Late Rain Size:M: 60 x 45cm Fairy-queen''The Late Rain', 1865. Two gentlemen hitch their trousers up before attempting to cross the road. Many of London's streets remained unpaved at this time. In addition, a lack of gutters and the dirt of man and horse tended to compound the problem. In wet weather, the roads could become almost impassable, as shown in this cartoon. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 22, 1865.
