Me again with yet another random question. One of my characters works for the charity another one of them runs. It's a pretty unconventional institution so his job description doesn't conform exactly to typical early 20th century servant roles but the closest appropriate title would probably be 'footman.' The story is set in 1905.
I know he's definitely the sort of person to have a cluttered, messy room, I'm just not really sure what the clutter entails. He probably doesn't have more than a couple of outfits, so there aren't really many clothes to strew about. What are some examples of the kind of knicknacks he might have? What sort of books were popular among the working class? 1905 is a bit late for penny dreadfuls, and he's probably a bit old to read Boys' Own or anything like that. His secret dream is to be a tailor, but he doesn't have a lot of spare time or money to practice sewing.
