About this book

In the early Victorian era, social stratification sharply defined the lives of children from different classes. "Portraits of Children of the Mobility" by Percival Leigh offers a keenly observed collection of sketches that humorously critiques the lives of lower-class youth. Through vivid depictions, Leigh captures the essence of these children, often overlooked in society, while shedding light on their resilience and unique experiences. The work stands out for its incisive commentary on class disparities and the innocence of youth amidst hardship. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document invites readers to reflect on societal structures and the enduring spirit of the marginalized. Discover the wit and insight of Leigh's observations as you navigate this compelling portrait of a forgotten childhood.
