Victorian match sellers, often comprised of children and the impoverished, faced harsh working conditions and exploitation. Many sold matches on the streets to support their families, enduring extreme poverty and neglect. Over time, social reform movements highlighted their plight, leading to improved labor laws and the eventual decline of child labor in such hazardous occupations. The introduction of safety matches also contributed to the decline of the match-selling trade.
