DescriptionGipsy Essex QE1 142.jpg | "A GIPSY ENCAMPMENT IN ESSEX A strange people, still living apart and keeping apart, the gipsies are, in England, as in other parts of Europe, a wandering tribe. School-boards, local authorities, the endless regulations by which civilisation seeks to protect itself, have made times hard and life difficult for the gipsies. Nevertheless, the little homes on wheels and the strange semicircular tents in which the nomads live are still to be seen on many a patch of open land, especially in the South of England. The life is a healthy one, is not without its romantic side and it must be admitted that the gipsies have moved with the age, and that they have ceased, in a large measure, to deserve the detestation in which they were long held by owners of hen-roosts and of all the small portable possessions of the farmer and the cottager." | |||
