ANOTHER OF THE FASHIONABLE GARDENER’S BOYS
We’ve commented before on how the rich and fashionable have taken to haveing very young slaves as “gardener’s boys” in the pleasure grounds near the house. They work, of course - keeping the weeds down, tidying up, emptying the grass boxes from the giant mowers pulled by the other slaves, and so on. But as we can see here, they can double as interesting ornaments when their owners are entertaining and taking guests on a stroll around the grounds in the interval between luncheon and tea.
