With the aid of a magnifying glass, I can tell you that it says "Eno's Fruit Salt" on the bottle in line 2 and "Judson" on the bottle in line 10! Those Victorian Girls must have had keen eyesight! I just googled Eno's Fruit Salt to see exactly what it was and guess what? It originated in Newcastle! Here's a link to the page I found. www.rpsgb.org.uk/members/museum/musexhibeno.htmFurther research on Google suggests Judson may have been a dye manufacturer in Bermondsey! (Just call me Sherlock.) |

Is that a pig in line 9? I'm going by the curly tail. And what's it doing? Sniffing for truffles?
