AbstractTallis’s Street Views describe London as a commercial and professional centre but the visual representation of the street elevations gives an impression of quiet emptiness; it is hard to get a sense of the activity in and around the businesses portrayed. The household inventory of one of Tallis’s advertisers, a dentist who died in 1850, suggests a way of redressing this. An interpretive reading of the list of the dentist’s belongings, disposed around the different spaces of the premises, which housed his residence, his business and other households, gives some sense of the complexity and struggle at a daily level behind Tallis’s apparently orderly professional and commercial facades. This indicates that we can look more generally to material culture – whether in textual and visual representations or as actual artefacts – to provide a deeper understanding of people’s everyday life in a developing city.

把人放在页面上：物质文化是塔利斯伦敦街景立面背后的日常生活方式

AbstractTallis 的街景将伦敦描述为一个商业和专业中心，但街道立面的视觉表现给人一种安静空旷的印象；很难了解所描绘的企业内部和周围的活动。Tallis 的一位广告商（一位于 1850 年去世的牙医）的家庭清单提出了一种解决此问题的方法。牙医财产清单的解释性阅读，分布在他的住所、他的生意和其他家庭的场所的不同空间周围，使人们对 Tallis 表面上井然有序的专业和商业背后的复杂性和日常斗争有了一些了解外墙。
