Description: | Laundry works such as P Hall’s also dyed clothes for customers. Because new clothes were expensive for poorer families during the Victorian era, dyeing was used as a means of rejuvenating old and worn clothing. It was especially useful on dark, otherwise irremovable stains on still-wearable clothes. Synthetic dyes were developed during this period and this meant that a range of new and vibrant colours were available for the first time. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | T Evans & Co | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
