Emily’s Maid

 

 

Emily’s Maid was a departure from the chocolate box images of Victorian children bathing to a slightly “naughty” image, perhaps appealing to the male audience rather than mothers.

 

“When the door bell rings it should be answered promptly by a trim maid with a low voice and quiet courteous manner”
