Crowd scene

A crowd scene is the representation of a crowd in art, literature or other media.

The Crowd by Robert William Buss (1847)

There are many examples of crowd scenes in American literature. One classic is Poe's short story, "The Man of the Crowd", in which a mysterious old man is followed through London in the 19th century, when it was the most populous city in the world.[1]
