Abstract

From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 11 features a British Soldier and lady and their child walking around Hyde Park. Centrally located within the city, Hyde Park has been very popular to Londoners for centuries.

This view of Hyde Park promotes the historical significance of Hyde Park, operating as a site for middle and upper classes to see and be seen. It also promotes the soldier's chivalry, and the woman's kind nature. Additionally an afternoon stroll like such shows the growing prevalence of leisure time activities in daily life.
