London Nomades

The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of a group of people gathered around a large, dark-colored caravan or wagon with a curved roof and a chimney on top. The caravan has a door and windows on the side, and a small porch or step leading up to it. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, with the men wearing hats, coats, and trousers, and the women wearing long skirts and blouses. Some of them are sitting on the ground, while others are standing or sitting on the caravan's step. A woman sits on the step of the caravan. In the background, there are other structures visible, including what appears to be a tent or awning, and a cloudy sky. London Nomades by John Thomson.
