A 'bug extermination man' who went around wearing a sign to promote his work is captured smiling at an unknown photographer - known only by his initials KY - while surrounded by East End children.

The salesman's sign reads: 'Marvellous discovery. Killing extraordinary. Thousands slain nightly. Terrible slaughter of bugs, beetles, fleas and flies'
