EYE-WITNESS No. 10
George Augustus Sala, the author of this article, though blind in one eye, ms originally a draughtsman and scene painter One night he returned from a short walk to his home off the Strand to find he left his keys and money inside. He spent the night among London’s homeless, and sent his account of it to Charles Dickens’s “Household Words.” From its publication Sala’s success was never in doubt. Sala could write entertainingly on almost any subject. He was Special Commissioner in Russia for the London “Daily Telegraph,” and also covered the Civil War in America and the Italian War of Liberation.
