Summary
A 'Table Manners' paper poster (circa 1890), printed in black ink, stuck to a cardboard sheet and intended for hanging on a wall - it has a piece of brown cotton tape threaded through a pair of holes at the top edge. It is headed 'Table Manners for Children', with the rules of good behaviour underneath, as a verse. The paper was probably once white, but it is now very dark, dirty and stained with ink. The cardboard has a dirty, gold-coloured border and appears to have sheets of grey paper stuck to each side.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mrs C. V. E. Benfield in September 2006.
