Picture from a time before mod cons like central heating and electric kettles were in common use. People polished with black lead to keep them looking smart. For the few that had paid to have electricity installed, electric irons were plugged into the light socket. It took what seemed like an eternity to boil water in the kettle to get a wash and shave in the morning.
