Humorous postcard - Workhouse Tramp gets the Order of the B
A humorous postcard showing a tramp in a workhouse being pushed towards a bath by a uniformed attendant. The Order of the Bath refers to a British order of chivalry whose name derives from the medieval ceremony for creating a knight which involved bathing - a symbol of purification. The workhouse attendants military style uniform suggests that the illustration may be American in origin. Date: Date unknown
