Ladies dancing in the street to a Barrel Organ,  London, England]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[From the Peacock &quot;pictorette&quot; Post Card Series, Figure 8 shows two ladies dancing to a street grinder (performer) play his barrel organ. Victorian street music represented a &quot;festive disruption&quot; from middle class musical preferences, and was considered &quot;provocative&quot; (Picker 63). Street organs are mobile, allowing street grinders to move where they please.<br />
<br />
Street performers were considered during this period disgraceful, and a representation of lower classes. The ladies dancing too, were considered to be of ill repute. Their dresses, and suggestiveness of showing their ankles visually demonstrates this. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
