What would the Victorians have thought about our venerations of 'celebrities', especially those who are celebrities because they well known, without talent or character?
We have every bit as much of a class system in Britain today as there ever has been, the levels have changed and multiplied as has the focus but there is as much hypocrisy as ever and as much social climbing as ever.
The Bee-hive would need more cartouches for characterising our differing society positions. I notice the shape of the cartouches matches the shape of the later shape for the studio photograph when that arrived.
