EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a comical scene from the 19th century, depicted in this print by George Cruikshank. The illustration is part of "The Greatest Plague of Life: or The Adventures of a Lady in Search of a Good Servant" by the Brothers Mayhew. Set below stairs, where domestic service takes place, we witness an amusing rebellion amongst the servants. Snugly gathered around the warm fireplace in their Victorian kitchen, the footman and maid seem to have conspired against their duties. Ignoring the house bells that chime impatiently at first ring, they point mischievously at each other with playful grins on their faces. This engraving portrays not only a humorous moment but also sheds light on social issues such as child labor and gender roles during that era. The young boy dressed as a footman represents how children were employed in domestic service despite their tender age. George Cruikshank's artistic talent brings out both warmth and humor through his detailed portrayal of characters and setting. This monochrome print perfectly captures the essence of life below stairs while showcasing Augustus Septimus Mayhew's witty storytelling skills. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when bellboys rang incessantly for attention, yet rebellious servants found solace in camaraderie rather than obedience. It serves as a reminder that even amidst daily chores and responsibilities, there is always room for
