This will praise the 1800s quite a bit about decor. And about the technology they had back then.
This was inspired by a storybook I read sometime last year that dreamily pondered electricity being existent in the 1800s, and referred to such as "magic." I was quite pleasantly surprised to learn that they even had electricity back then. They were not cave dwellers ignorant of the wondrous possibilities around them. <Well, they invented light bulbs, so it makes sense that they would have already had elec--> Be quiet.
Other storybooks that were written did not really focus on the technology, innovations, scientific or medical progress. They usually harped on societal and political concerns, which is fine. But they hardly ever focused on technology. Like Alice In Wonderland, and the first book in the Narnia series.
I only just recently read Jane Eyre. I was transfixed. So much of what she says about the human condition is still true today.
Love, love, LOVE those 1800s industrial age trinkets and curios, Victorian age fashions.
Cartographers, science, molecular biology-- the beginnings twinklings inklings of science; evolution Darwin, bipedal, quadrupeds.
The 1800s weren't primitive. They had electricity, steam engines, trains, photographic cameras, the beginnings of cars. They knew quite a bit about medicine and physiology.
Old-fashioned microscope much like the display item in pharmacy
Old-world Globes
Astrolabes
Astrolabium, representations of the solar system
Weight by balance scales (I suppose that would not be weight; it would be mass. Whatever. We are on earth and this planet's gravitational pull and magnetic field render those two terms interchangeable.)
Sand writer-- reminiscent of Foucault pendulum
Old books with ribs on the spine (hehe, ribs on the spine -- get it?)
I luurrrvve the old-world style decor. books w ribs on the spine. hehe, ribs on the spine, get it?
Old-world maps and globes.
My style of dress:
Preppy, plus
Vintage e.g., a preppy plaid skirt, w vintage top, & brown leather oxford heels
Such as: 1800s vintage, 1910s vintage
Nanette Lepore fashions
That's pretty much all it is: various different permutations of: ruffles of same foundation fabric, or ruched pleats/thin layers, or lace additional.
I luurrrvve the way they dressed back then. The vintage old-world fashions... They had very professional and ladylike business suits for women. They were very exquisitely detailed, lots of ruffles and beads. But also very structured, tailored_[way of describing bus suit from 1940s]]] they were professional, respectable.
The Chinese old gas lanterns.,,,
Actually I like the ancient Chinese decor better; the ancient stuff was more authentic. The 1800s was a faded shadow of its once-great glory, and for that the 1800s version is depressing.
