American Victorian Costume in Early Photographs > Customer Review #1:
Useful and interesting document on Victorian costume.

The Victorians put their (mostly) best foot forward in this collection of period photographs. Most of the photos are obviously studio pieces and catch our ancestors at what they considered their best, but a few, like the picture of the little girl missing a coat button, seem unplanned.

The photos are grouped by decade and show men, women and children of all ages and social classes. The editors notes are conveniently placed near the photos and contain clear and interesting details about the costumes. Together the notes and the photos provide a useful resource and fun browse for all those interested in Victorian costume and manners.
