"Sinks of London Laid Open" by George Cruikshank is a socio-historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work provides an unflinching portrayal of the lives of London's poor, particularly focusing on common lodging houses and the individuals known as cadgers—those who beg or live off the charity of others. Through vivid descriptions and illustrations, the text aims to expose the stark realities of low life in London, giving readers insight into a world often overlooked by polite society. The opening of this work introduces the topics that will be explored in depth throughout its chapters. It begins by discusses the lack of accurate information about the common lodging houses and cadgers, marking them as subjects ripe for exploration. Cruikshank critiques existing literature for failing to depict the true nature of these places filled with human vice and poverty. By transitioning into a description of a specific lodging house in St. Giles's, he sets the stage for a detailed examination of the interactions, lifestyles, and struggles of both the inhabitants and those who manage these establishments. The narrative hints at the variety of characters—ranging from the desperate to the cunning—who populate this world, foreshadowing the rich tapestry of stories that follows.
