Snob screen

A row of snob screens at The Lamb in Bloomsbury

A snob screen is a device found in some British public houses of the Victorian era. Usually installed in sets, they comprise an etched glass pane in a movable wooden frame and were intended to allow middle class drinkers to see working class drinkers in an adjacent bar, but not to be seen by them,[1] and to be undisturbed by the bar staff.[2]
