Er na fyddai'r dosbarth gweithiol yn medru pleidleisio, byddent wedi gallu ychwanegu eu lleisiau at achosion trwy lofnodi deiseb.
Although the working class couldn't vote, they would have been able to add their voices to causes by signing a petition.

A warning from the past: if there is anything you would like to preserve long-term in good condition, please don't stick tape on it!
As tape deteriorates, it can discolour, become brittle, lose its adhesive strength, and leave a residue stain.
Enough to give an archivist nightmares! 👻
