The reference to the new law on use of child chimney sweeps brings to mind something I discovered through some recent research, which was the boys were cheaper to ‘buy’ than newly developed technology in brush design. Thank goodness for philanthropic influence on employment law.

I took note of the background detail in these illustrations as directed and was amused by the ‘bustle making’ service advertised in ‘Buy a Broom’. I hope the proprietors were able to turn their hands to other fashions when bustles went out.
