Peelers Check - A Glimpse into Victorian Policing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Peelers Check" takes us back to the streets of London circa 1865. In this early form of British law enforcement, a peeler, or policeman, is depicted checking on a couple as they relax in their private quarters. The image offers an intriguing glimpse into the roles and occupations of that era. The composition showcases a beautifully furnished bedroom where the couple finds solace from the bustling city outside. As we observe them in bed, it becomes evident that even within these intimate confines, no one was exempt from scrutiny by the watchful eyes of law enforcement. The London Stereoscopic Company expertly captures this scene with their Comic Series - 550. Through their lens, we witness not only a moment frozen in time but also gain insight into societal norms and power dynamics prevalent during those times. This portrait highlights both male and female figures; however, it is important to note that gender roles were distinctively defined during this period. The woman appears vulnerable yet composed while her male counterpart seems relaxed but aware of his surroundings. As we delve deeper into this historical photograph from Europe's past, we are reminded of how far society has come since then. It serves as a reminder to appreciate our present freedoms while acknowledging the progress made over generations gone by.
