Passive Resistance Master and Maid artist L Thackeray Tuck postcard series

Passive Resistance Master and Maid artist L Thackeray Tuck postcard series

Master and maid in an embrace, third of a series entitled Passive Resistance by artist L Thackeray for Raphael Tuck & Sons, London-based publisher of postcards in the early 1900s. 

Is she passive because she dare not resist too strongly for fear of losing her job or worse, or does she have hopes for moving above her station in life? Ah, the drama of the Upstairs, Downstairs classes.
