The background features a carriage and road sweeper, providing a glimpse into the bustling streets of Regency London. Toby's story is one of resilience and tragedy. A black merchant seaman who lost all his toes during a treacherous voyage between Bermuda and Memel, he was forced into vagabondage upon returning to London.
