Above the city, all seems wondrous, but at street level it was out of control again. The different departments of life are jumbled together. The hod carrier, the low mechanic, the tapster, the publican, the shopkeeper, the petty fogger, the citizen and courtier, all tread upon the kibes of one another. They are seen everywhere rambling, riding, rolling, rushing, jostling, mixing, bouncing, cracking, and crashing in one vile ferment of stupidity and corruption. For the last 200 years, many artists have tried to contain London in one vast image or sprawling work.这幅曾被认为已经失传的画，在1940年发现于美国。被用作火器箱的装饰，从城市上空看，一切美轮美奂。但在街头，一切又陷于混乱之中，众生百态交融在一起。搬运工、技工、酒保 、小老板、店主、小铁匠、城镇居民和侍臣，都践踏在彼此的冻疮上。他们无处不在，闲逛、骑行、翻滚、 冲撞，推挤、混杂、跳跃、断裂，在愚蠢和腐化的混乱中堕落。过去的200年间，许多艺术家都尝试着将伦敦呈现在一幅或一系列作品中。
斯蒂芬·沃尔特艺术家
I wanted to express my fascination with the city, its contradictions, its intricacy, its mass of people, all living their separate and sometimes communal lives.
我想表达我对这座城市的迷恋，它的矛盾性，它的复杂性，这么多的人，都过着既独立又有相互联系的生活。
