This volume explores the lives and occupations of the street folk in London, focusing on the various laborers and performers who make their living in the bustling city. Mayhew delves into the conditions, earnings, and social dynamics of those at the margins of society, offering a vivid snapshot of urban life during this period. At the start of the work, Mayhew introduces the intriguing world of rat-catchers, specifically through the experiences of a skilled rat-killer who operates out of a modest court in Somers Town. The narrative vividly describes his home, his dealings with rats, and the dynamics of his work while highlighting the unique culture and community surrounding this unusual profession. Through observations of the rat-catcher's life and his candid remarks, Mayhew provides insight into the socio-economic challenges faced by the lower classes in London, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of street labor in subsequent chapters.
