And- how many of both the “old” & the “new” occupations no longer exist…
“Messenger Boy” / Telephone Girl” / Nightwatchman / Lamplighter / Ratcatcher / Organ-Grinder / Recruiting-Serjeant / Newspaper-Boy / Bill-Poster ( “Who is innocent!”)
And etc, too ….

There is a noticeable tone of respect given to all these occupations which is very refreshing.

Fantastic. I knew about Carreras’ Black Cat Cigarettes, but I had no idea these cards existed.
