Can't imagine the life of that woman. Through this picture, I can see and think that at those times, poverty came to such a degree, that people had to do any thing to at least eat

That attic would have been extremely cold in winter.

I agree with Alan. Her face is both haunting and hurt. Look closer and her skin is poor - a sure sign of incorrect diet - she's clearly thin too. Desperate times and she had to fight to survive..

Supply and demand, she survived.

Phillis Robinson appears quite smatly dressed compared with many of the women in this collection. From the account of her crime in the Newcastle Daily Chronicle (25 April 1873) it looks as if she was working as a prostitute. With another woman she approached William Lockwood Hunter in Clayton Street, Newcastle and asked him to stand them a glass of ale. Having also bought them a pie, he was robbed of £14. Phillis had 15 previous court appearances including vagrancy, drunkenness and theft.

She looks like she did well for herself, being a prostitute. She's wearing furs!
