Here's a curiosity that was recently uploaded to Comic Book Plus, first published as part of Leigh's New Picture of London in 1816.
I cannot vouch for how accurate the costumes are (though I suspect, very) but I can w say with certainty that today's school students having to schlep around heavy backpacks had nothing on the poor scissors grinder or the charcoal merchant pictured here.
Enjoy this fascinating glimpse of two centuries ago.
