Yes, yes, it's amazing. Love the Gibson girls, that I do. I'm one of those people who really wish I had lived in an earlier era.

Sigh..... Me too. BTW, I also like John Chandler Christy's depiction of the women of that era too. There was another illustrator of that era, his last name was Flagg, for some reason, I can't remember the first. One of the fashion illustrators from that time who did work for Ladies' Home Journal, Women's Home Companion, and Women's World, IIRC, was M.E. Musselman or she was sometimes called "Emma Musselman." I enjoy her work too, I tried to google her down, but I get pitiful little info on her. I know she kept working into the 1920's atl east, she did a cover to a piece of piano music too.

Call me nutty, but if I had a time machine or a "sliding device" to an alternate Earth, I'd consider using it. A side note, the science fiction side of me likes the "steampunk" genre where the Victorian Era never died but went on to develop things like steam power cars, zeppelins, mechanical computers, steam powered robots, and so on. The old TV show "Sliders" was going to feature an alternate Earth where it was basically Victorians with current technology. Anyhoo, another online friend of mine had the same wish as we do, he would have loved to work at a government job in the Colonial Office somewhere and I'd probably be a mas scientist. B-)

Good luck, happy history hunting.

Thanks. I know it can be a job and a half. B-)

LOL, never heard of that steam-punk stuff, very interesting. I was wild for the Flintstones as a kid, I just loved the inventive little things they came up with, like the little dinosaur Wilma used as a clothes iron. I liked the Jetsons too, but it always seemed to me that the Flintstones was a little more challenging.

Yeah, I like old stuff, sometimes I get in a modern mood, but not very often. Although after a life lived in blue jeans, would I really enjoy those old hoop skirts? Probably not!
