Dore was commissioned to create the illustrations by the publisher Grant and Company. The author and artist spent days touring the city together, often accompanied by plain clothes policemen. Jerrod let his friend Dore through the "shadows and sunlight of the great world of London". The book focused on the deprivation and squalor of the poorest residents of London.
