Vinegar Valentines: Villainous Victorian woodcuts that lament the irritations of engaging tradesmen

Spitalfields Life highlights a selection of the “Villainous Valentines,” Victorian-era prints that illustrate the irritations of hiring different kinds of tradesmen, accompanied by appropriate doggerel. It’s like a bougie mirror-world version of London Labour and the London Poor, with illustrations by way of John Tenniel.
