About this product

About this product

Product Information

In recent years there has been a plethora of TV documentaries and books about England's social history and, as a consequence, we are very familiar with photographs of Victorian Britain ...... busy street scenes with horse-drawn buses, carts and cabs; crowded pavements bustling with bowler and top-hatted gentlemen, long-skirted ladies and ragged children. However, we rarely see working people plying their trades, earning a crust. When walking (or taking the steam tram or horse bus) to work or the shops, our Victorian ancestors encountered street traders who were so familiar to them that they'd have barely given them a second glance. These tradesmen, craftsmen, entertainers and beggars were an important part of the social fabric and, as it says in the Street Life slide script that is the subject of this booklet, they gave life, animation and colour to the gloomy streets of our great cities and towns. This 48 page booklet reproduces a remarkable set of forty Victorian, photographic, magic lantern slides, which illustrate the street life of British towns and cities in the 1890s, accompanied by the original, lecturer's script. Most of the photographs were taken in Bradford, an industrialised mill town in the rth of England, but similar scenes would have been witnessed across the length and breadth of the Country.
