The maid of all work (who used to wake up at 4am and go to bed at midnight and was usually 8 years old, has to get a makeup artist and hairdresser to make her look like if she didn't do her hair and had no makeup ?
This show is cute but it is so not accurate and i really wish they given the characters downstairs a tad more authenticity.
Most people believe they can only identify with the downstairs characters because most people are not aristocrats but actually if you live in 2022 and have the possibility to watch downton you live a life of utter luxury compared to downstairs.

In what are they not authentic? Of course a TV show could never be 100% accurate but i've always thought they did okay with the dowstairs characters. I also think that it became quite rare for a maid of 8 years old to be working at a place like Dowton during the 1910s-1920s. But I could be wrong...

@@17thcentury_girl Possibly.
If you have the time i recommend you to watch this 3 parts documentary and then compare it to Downton, because this is really what it was like.

@@kachi2782 thankyou for the rec, I'll watch it when it's not 2am 😅. I also want to clarify I don't think that servant life was as good as its shown in downton, I just always assumed that once it got to the 1910s-1920s it was much better than it was decades before that

World war 1 changed a lot of things in Europe regarding the service industry, but mostly for men who now were required to rebuilt the country and were granted access to better positions than Butlers and Footmen, For women however it got worse. The aristocratic family were finding it more and more difficult and outdated to keep all this army of staff, but they still weren't going to clean and cook and take care of everything so they simply had less staff who had to work much more and especially doing jobs originally reserved to men.
The 1930 were seen as the annee folles or the raging 30s with all the excitement that came with it, but keep in mind that it was also a time when the slave trade was at its highest and England and France had Human Zoos. Actually the last Human Zoo was in 1958 if i remember well. The aboriginals of Australia were still considered in the UK as Fauna and could be hunted, and people had taxidermied Aboriginal and Pigmy entire family which they kept in their cabinets of curiosity.
And domestic servant had barely the status of human beings and were just tools to do a job.
That puts things into perspective about how people were still treated.
Go to bed it's monday !
