Anybody in UK with info ? Subj: Working class homes: 19th cent Date: 96-04-03 14:14:15 EST From: [log in to unmask] (Dave Postles) Sender: [log in to unmask] (H-Net British and Irish History List) Reply-to: [log in to unmask] (H-Net British and Irish History List) To: [log in to unmask] (Multiple recipients of list H-ALBION) Information is needed by a colleague on working class urban homes in the late 19th century. Specifically, she is trying to fing material on: house interiors (furnishings, wallpapers, pictures, ornaments -- both upstairs and downstairs); photographs or pictures of late 19th-century working class people inside their homes. The information is needed for an exhibition which is reconstituting the home of a family on moderate but regular wages (poor but not destitute); the head of the household was a coalman (not a miner, but a coal deliverer). It is intended to be a sample household for which the museum has some information already but needs some contextualisation. I hope someone can help.
