I think it looks like I'm only seeing rich individuals of the times are there more sketches of other classes as well?

  Rich and/or employed by rich people.

  Considering who is on today's magazines, this is not surprising.

  There are a few more images omitted from the BBC article in her actual works: https://archive.org/details/Eden30538/page/n5/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/Eden30538/page/n5/mode/2up

  Isn't this usually what happens? More depictions, records, stories and possessions of rich people end up surviving long term. Which is why I think it's important that if one is a creator, author, artist, photo/videographer, etc, that they also log the mundane, the common. My grandfather was a hobby photographer, he'd go out during e.g. local (traditional) events like "ring running" [0] (note that this was in the mid-1900s, not the 1500s from the linked article) and make photos / videos about it. A lot of his stuff is now archived at the local history museum. (also note that this was very much a small village on the far side of the country (NL), while it was spared the worst of the war it also lagged a bit in development) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_at_the_ring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_at_the_ring
