Life around 1900

Just had to share this lovely enhanced video with footage from around 1900 – it really brings the past frighteningly close when you can meet the eyes of strangers from a gap of more than 100 years.

Just lovely!

Bustles, Drama & Dickens: Victorian-set Films

I tried to put together a list of films set in the Victorian era. It's not exhaustive, and I'm not saying they're all good (or even that I saw them all) but it's a start for getting your Victorian fix, anyway.

Please suggest additional Victorian movies by commenting or emailing me and I'll add them to the Entertainment page!
