EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1890 captures the essence of boarding house life in a humorous and insightful way. The image showcases various aspects of this unique living arrangement, providing a glimpse into the quirks and challenges faced by its residents. The first panel highlights the scarcity of men in the boarding house, with one occasion even having a ratio of seven women to one man. However, their enthusiasm quickly wanes when it is discovered that he is married. Next, we see two parsons who differ in their views, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone involved. This amusing portrayal reflects the clash of opinions that can arise within close quarters. The third panel depicts the unconventional beverage situation at the boarding house. Each resident brings their preferred drink, ranging from wine in medicine bottles to beer in mugs - showcasing individual preferences and resourcefulness. Inevitably, there are always two individuals who find pleasure in criticizing their neighbors' actions or behaviors as shown in panel four. Panel five sheds light on scrimpy hostesses who lead to private cooking arrangements taking place within bedrooms due to limited food provisions. Before leaving this peculiar abode, guests are haunted by an album demanding witty and funny contributions as depicted in panel six. Lastly, we witness a half-pay captain setting an example by lighting his candle at gas - demonstrating proper manners amidst this lively environment. Through this charming nineteenth-century engraving, we gain insight into Victorian-era boarding houses where camaraderie mixed with idiosyncrasies created a distinct culture all its own.
