What Will Become of the Servant-Gals?, 1865. Artist: George du Maurier
What Will Become of the Servant-Gals?, 1865. The lady of the house shows a benevolent gentleman visitor where her housemaid sleeps. This appears to be an outhouse, damp and dirty. This was a period during which the newly burgeoning middle classes had few problems in engaging servants. For the uneducated lower classes, especially girls, there were few alternatives to domestic service. Consequently, the conditions attached to service were often less than equitable. From Punch, or the London Charivari, July 8, 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "What Will Become of the Servant-Gals?, 1865" by George du Maurier offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities faced by domestic servants during the 19th century. The image showcases a lady of the house, accompanied by a benevolent gentleman visitor, as she reveals to him where her housemaid sleeps - an uninviting and dilapidated outhouse. During this era, the emerging middle classes had little difficulty in employing servants; however, for lower-class individuals, particularly young girls, domestic service was often their only option. Unfortunately, these positions came with less than fair conditions. The monochromatic engraving serves as a powerful satire on society's treatment of domestic help at that time. It highlights not only the stark contrast between social classes but also sheds light on the unsatisfactory living conditions endured by servant-gals. George du Maurier skillfully captures this societal issue through his artistic lens. His work prompts viewers to reflect upon and question the inequities prevalent within Victorian society. As we delve into this heritage image partnership with du Maurier's print collector1 collection, it is essential to acknowledge and appreciate how far we have come in terms of workers' rights and equality since those times. This thought-provoking artwork reminds us never to take progress for granted and encourages us to continue striving towards fairness and justice for all members of society.
