| These are based on photos from the same book as was the lady from "a lady, a gentleman, and a monster," Victorian and Edwardian Fashion: a Photographic Survey by Alison Gernsheim. I haven't really read the book -- mostly I've just looked at the pictures -- but I have learned some things, namely that once upon a time, there were many varieties of men's neckties, some of them bizarre and/or comical. |

| It's hard to believe, the getups people used to play sports in. This lady was pictured with other "tennis club" members, and the men were in suits and big bowlers. Huh. The fact that they all held their rackets and everyone's outfits matched led me to believe they actually played in these clothes, but maybe I'm wrong. |
Love these! Esp "Hello Gents!"
