              <text>From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 3 features a girl offering a flower to a gentleman outside of Westminster Abbey. Flower girls moved up and down the streets with heavy cane baskets full of flowers. &#13;
&#13;
Henry Mayhew described two types of Flower Girls in his 1861 report on London Labour and the London Poor. The first, considered a "better class" of flower girls, worked very hard in wealthier areas, giving the money they earned to their parents. &#13;
The second, were women who dressed coquettishly and took to the street later in the night, near theaters and casinos.  This type would use selling flowers as a pretense to meet men for “immoral purposes”, and gave flowers girls a negative stereotype. </text>
