Policemen were typically of lower classes, and had labor related occupations. Due to the industrial revolution, and increased mechanization, less laborers were need, thus became police officers (Taylor 48).

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. ]]>
