since about Victorian times (roughly 1837 on)+ photographs
My grandmother worked for a seamstress in London around about then, sewing fine silk dresses and being paid 6d a week for it. She was told she was lucky not to have to pay for the tuition!Lucy
Thank you. They worked in terrible conditions but made such beautiful objects. What a contrast.
