Victorian Toys

JHEducation — 2022-09-29 15:12:53 UTC

Toys in the Victorian Era had educational purposes.
Even though they look like fun, Victorians wanted every toy to have a purpose. This meant that dolls and doll houses were designed to teach young girls about being a mother and a wife when they were older. Games like bagatelle were designed for boys to learn about maths because they would be in charge of the money when they grew up. Even games like ring toss or cup and ball were designed to help young boys learn the skills they might need in the army by training their hand eye coordination.
Queen Victoria made grey and white rocking horses very popular because she had one for her children. The rocking horse found in the Victorian house is called Polka.

Top Hats

JHEducation — 2022-09-30 09:52:27 UTC

The Silk Top Hat came into being in 1797 and made its way to the Netherlands from England via France.
During the Empire Period (1800-1850), the hats - which were much taller and basically straight-sided - were called 'stovepipe hats'.
The black silk top hat was made from cheesecloth, linen, flannel and shellac. During this early Victorian time -around 1830 - top hats were extremely tall, some even reaching 20 cm.
Later in the Victorian era, from 1837 to 1901, the height was reduced to about 16cm and the brim became wider.
Different styles of top hat could be worn for different occasions such as weddings and funerals, or attending the opera.

Fashion

JHEducation — 2022-09-30 09:55:03 UTC

Victorian fashion began with large dresses, bonnets, and modest coverings for the ladies, all while men displayed colour, pattern, and rigidity in their attire. By the end of the era, a simpler silhouette was gaining popularity, leading to the next Edwardian generation.

Bonnets

JHEducation — 2022-09-30 09:56:16 UTC

It was considered essential for women to cover their heads outdoors, with bonnets and boaters being the most popular styles of hat.

Photography

JHEducation — 2022-09-30 12:18:09 UTC

The first photographic technologies were produced during the 1830s and 40s. The invention of photography would revolutionise culture and communication in the West forever. For the first time, images of ‘real’ life could be captured for posterity and sent around the world.

The British inventor Fox Talbot produced his first successful photographic images in 1834, without a camera, by placing objects onto paper brushed with light-sensitive silver chloride, which he then exposed to sunlight. By 1840, Talbot had succeeded in producing photogenic drawings in a camera. Talbot’s negative-positive process formed the basis of almost all photography on paper up to the digital age.
