"London Street Scene" is an illustration by William McConnell (active 1848–1862) created for the publication "Twice Round the Clock; or, The Hours of the Day and Night in London" by George Augustus Sala (1828–1896). Published in 1859, the book is a vibrant exploration of Victorian London's daily life, capturing the city's diverse activities over a 24-hour period. McConnell's illustration is a visual representation of the text, providing readers with a detailed and atmospheric portrayal of a London street at a specific time of day.

The illustration is characterized by its intricate detail and bustling activity, reflecting the energy and complexity of London life in the mid-19th century. McConnell's work is an example of the period's illustration techniques, which often involved wood engraving, a method that allowed for high-quality reproductions in books and periodicals. His ability to convey texture, depth, and movement within the confines of monochromatic imagery demonstrates his skill as an illustrator.

As an accompaniment to Sala's descriptive prose, McConnell's "London Street Scene" serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a historical document, offering insight into the urban experience during a time of significant social and economic change. The illustration is an important piece of visual culture from the Victorian era, contributing to the understanding of the period's social dynamics, architecture, and daily life.

In the context of "Twice Round the Clock," McConnell's work complements Sala's textual observations, creating a synergy between word and image that enriches the reader's experience of Victorian London. The book, with its combination of Sala's vivid writing and McConnell's evocative illustrations, remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of London, Victorian literature, and 19th-century illustration.
