    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[From the Peacock &quot;pictorette&quot; Post Card Series, Figure 9 shows &quot;costermongers&quot; on an animal drawn cart, selling fruits and vegetables. During the Victorian Period, there was a great many of them, so competition was fierce, typically using chants, and other tactics to be heard.<br />
<br />
Costermongers belonged to the lowest classes of society, but still had their own hierarchy of sorts. Costers with animal drawn carriage like in this view were considered more well off than those that sold their goods from baskets. Additionally, costers were known for their bright and colorful clothing, heavy use of slang, and negative sentiments towards police officers. The view then of Figure 11 appears to reference negative, class based attitudes towards costermongers. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
