From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 1 features a Postman delivering mail to a maid. Much like postal service contemporaneously, the postal service in the Victorian Period required postmen to walk great lengths. The postman outfit featured a military style frock coat and waistcoat with a red collar. This style was to be constant until 1910. 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.

From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 4 features a Shoe-black blackening a gentlemen's shoes near the Thames River. Shoe blacks were children who cleaned boots and shoes for a living. This shoe shiner was most likely from the London Shoe-Black Brigade, which was formed in the 1850's to offer a better wage for children that were shoe-shiners. In the evenings they could attend Ragged Schools which were schools that offered free education of destitute children in 19th-century Britain. Those employed by London Shoe-Black Brigade wore colored jackets based on the location they would occupy.

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.

Ladies dancing in the street to a Barrel Organ, London, England Type The nature or genre of the resource Still image, picture postcard with divided back, 3.5 x 5.5 in Abstract A summary of the resource. From the Peacock "pictorette" Post Card Series, Figure 8 shows two ladies dancing to a street grinder (performer) play his barrel organ. Victorian street music represented a "festive disruption" from middle class musical preferences, and was considered "provocative" (Picker 63). Street organs are mobile, allowing street grinders to move where they please. 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.
