EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delightful Surprise: The Domestic Servants Insurance Act of 1907 This charming comic postcard captures the joy and relief felt by a housemaid named Mary, as she learns about the new Domestic Servants Insurance Act passed by the British Liberal Party in 1907. The act was a significant welfare reform, which exempted domestic servants from contributing towards beneficial health insurance. Mary, bandaged and lying on a bed, holds a grape in her hand, her face beaming with delight and laughter. Her injuries, though still present, seem to have lost their sting, as she exclaims, "I don't care how often I get hurt now, I am insured!" The Liberal welfare reforms, which began in 1906 and continued until 1914, were a series of acts of social legislation aimed at improving the living and working conditions of the working class. The reforms brought about significant changes, including the Old Age Pensions Act of 1908, the National Insurance Act of 1911, and the Unemployment Insurance Act of 1911. This postcard, dated 1907, depicts the jolly and lighthearted side of these reforms, highlighting the sense of relief and joy that came with the newfound security of insurance coverage for domestic servants. The image of Mary, with her staff in hand and a smile on her face, is a testament to the positive impact of these reforms on the lives of many working-class individuals during this time.
