The Victorian Lounge

[vintage68]

So recently my interest in all things Victorian England has been rekindled, with all the recent movies like Sherlock Holmes, Young Victoria, etc.

Are there any sites like the Fedora Lounge dedicated to Victorian interests, or do we maybe start a new thread about this topic?

I think there have been a couple of past threads (perhaps in the Golden Era section?) indicating an interest in creating another board/sub-forum strictly for topics on pre-1920's for members here who are also interested in WW1, Edwardian, Victorian, etc. eras....not sure what the general concensus was, or if its something the bartenders are still discussing?

I for one would love an area like that. Often people's interest in one era overlaps with a love for another.

It would be fun, I would check it out.

It might be against our deed restrictions though .

It would be a great place to organize and collect our information on pre-Golden Era subjects (the heyday of real formal-wear; i.e. all our antique toppers and tails and etc.). I think it's closely enough related to the goals of TFL as to not take away from our mission: spreading ideals, style, and lifestyles of years past. So I'm all for it. [huh]

You have my vote for a Victorian & Edwardian board.

I'd be up for it. I love the Golden Era, but almost all my furniture is Victorian/Eastlake.
