EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from the 1890s, a kind-hearted and good-natured lodging-house keeper, dressed in her best, excitedly shares a small yet significant detail about her husband with a professional lady. With a slight descriptive error, she proudly announces, "Which my usband, Miss, is one of the Virgins at the Cathedral!" The lodging-house keeper's honest mistake, a result of her uneducated background, is a testament to the innocence and benign nature of the era. The term "Virgin" in this context was likely used interchangeably with "Verger," an assistant to the clergy in a cathedral, responsible for various tasks such as preparing the sanctuary for services and assisting the congregation. Despite her error, the lodging-house keeper's cheerful demeanor and innocent expression radiate warmth and friendliness. The professional lady, dressed in her elegant attire, listens attentively, her expression a mix of amusement and understanding. This image captures a moment of human connection and the joy of sharing stories, even when the wording may not be entirely accurate. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and good-hearted nature of everyday life in the late 1800s.
