Description: | 'General & Fancy' draper's stores, like the one featured in this advertisement, had to ensure that their different classes of customers did not meet. This was not as difficult as it sounds: it became usual practice for the gentry to shop in the morning, and have their purchases wrapped and delivered to their houses in the afternoon; the middle classes shopped in the afternoon; and the working classes visited in the evening after they had finished work. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Clothing And Dress Daywear People And Society Trade And Economics Retail Trade Shops | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Williams & Strahan | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
