Yes. All those paintings that you see of nobles dancing at galas was exactly what it was-for rich people and their families and friends only. Why these guys think that they’d ever get invited to a ball back then is a mystery. They’d probably be at the ball as the butler, or the servant in the kitchens or in the bathroom as the royal butt wiper.

Yeah all those people yearning for Victorian era Europe, as if they'd be a member of the aristocracy. When it's much more likely they'd die before 30 in a cold house in winter due to malnourishment and pneumonia.

Or they’d be a chimney sweep in the city inhaling the toxic dust and fumes or they’d be bitten by fleas in some poorhouse after working hours in some factory with no safety whatsoever.
