    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[From the Peacock &quot;pictorette&quot; Post Card Series, Figure 1 features a Postman delivering mail to a maid. Much like postal service contemporaneously, the postal service in the Victorian Period required postmen to walk great lengths. The postman outfit featured a military style frock coat and waistcoat with a red collar. This style was to be constant until 1910. <br />
<br />
The maid featured most likely worked for a middle class family as evidenced by the type of house in the background. Such an image paints a more positive view of relations with police officers during this period.]]></dcterms:abstract>
