Charlotte Bronte to George Smith, 5 February 1851:
'Those papers on the London Poor are singularly interesting; to me they open a new and
strange world, very dark, very dreary, very noisome in some of its recesses, a world that is
fostering such a future as I scarcely dare to imagine [...] The fidelity and simplicity of the
letterpress details harmonise well with the daguerrotype illustrations.'
