Gipsies of London Portrait of Nomads in City Life
An 1890s Dispatch sketch portrays English gipsies around London as cheerful, hard working, and dignified amid winter hardship. It recalls Leather Lane dwellings, Leather Bot tle, and a gipsy camp under a ruined wall with donkey and improvised fireside. The piece traces gipsy quarters near Holborn, The Mint, and suburbs, noting crafts, fortune telling, and street trades kept alive through thrift and resilience.
