B is for Bookbinder For today’s Victorian Working Woman, I could have done one of the 7,633 Bakers or 4,185 Brush-Makers or 3,496 Butchers. Or one of 3,728 Beer-Dealers. Or one of thousands of Button-, Brick-, Bolt-, or Blanket- Manufacturers. Or Worker in Brass or a Worker in Bone. There’s 347 Blacksmiths, 85 Brick-Layers, 86 Bank Service Workers, 76 Bicycle Makers! which I long to sketch. There’s even 5 Bankers. But I opted for a Bookbinder. 1881 Census of Women’s Occupations -- source link
