Yes, this alongside the enclosure that came along of common lands. It's the aesthetics of 'old wealth' repackaged for the common folk. This is partly why I recommend Ways of Seeing to new lefties all the time. So much of the cultural aesthetics of western capitalism has been directly lifted from aristocratic cultures of Europe and just slightly repackaged. There's even 'old Hollywood' aesthetics that are like a xerox of a xerox, etc.

The prevalence of children's stories involving kings, queens and princesses is something that has bothered me more than it should.
