"Street Incidents: A Series Of Twenty-one Permanent Photographs With Descriptive Letter-press" is a seminal work by the pioneering Scottish photographer John Thomson, published in 1877. This collection is a significant contribution to the field of documentary photography and social history, capturing the everyday lives of the working-class inhabitants of London during the Victorian era. Thomson, who is renowned for his ethnographic work in Asia, turned his lens towards the streets of London to document the stark realities faced by its urban poor.

The series comprises twenty-one photographs, each accompanied by descriptive text that provides context and narrative to the visual imagery. Thomson's work is notable for its empathetic portrayal of his subjects, offering a dignified representation of individuals often marginalized by society. His approach was groundbreaking at a time when photography was still in its infancy and primarily used for portraiture and landscapes. By focusing on street scenes and the people within them, Thomson helped to establish the genre of social documentary photography.

The photographs in "Street Incidents" depict a range of scenes, including street vendors, laborers, and children, capturing the vibrancy and hardship of urban life. Thomson's descriptive letter-press adds depth to the images, offering insights into the conditions and stories of the people he photographed. This combination of visual and textual narrative provides a powerful commentary on the social issues of the time, highlighting the disparities between the affluent and the impoverished.

"Street Incidents" is not only a valuable historical document but also an artistic achievement that has influenced generations of photographers and social reformers. Thomson's work continues to be studied and admired for its technical skill, compassionate perspective, and its role in the development of documentary photography as a tool for social change.
