Romantic Victorian Park Scene - Couples on Benches

Description: Romantic Victorian Park Scene - Couples on Benches - 1910: The Victorian era is the period of the reign of Queen Victoria from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. During the Victorian era, the British economy flourished. The Industrial Revolution meant substantial technological progress and made Great Britain a forerunner for a considerable time. Furthermore, it was a peaceful time in Europe. Queen Victoria had little political power or influence but the domestic policy managed to keep everything stable. However, the international policies and colonialization of the British Empire were anything but peaceful. The changing work culture meant that people (working outside of factories) had leisure hours and could partake in popular forms of entertainment. Education levels rose as well through a more formalized school system. Literature, theatre, galleries, music venues and dances, and the opera were widely attended. The Victorian Era saw fashion chance, sometimes dramatically, every decade. From wide, bell-shaped skirts over the crinoline to figure hugging styles in the 1870s, there is a lot of variety comprised within the generalizing name 'Victorian Era'. The making of clothes and dress culture changed massively during the industrial revolution which introduced the sewing machine, mechanical weaving, and therefore made ready-made clothing possible. This overturned the entire textile industry and lastingly changed society. The rise of the middle class during the era had a formative effect on this time, brought on by the growing wealth that the industrial revolution made possible. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard, hand dated 1910, features images of the fashions of the Victorian Era. The card is in good condition. No. 34. Germany.
