What the Heck is that Thing? Victorian Household Innovations
New theme for 2016! The Victorians used tools in the home that would bewilder the 21st century householder. Such gizmos as button hooks and magic lanterns had a specific use for Victorians, but today are obsolete. Learn about curious gadgets like these, how they worked, and why they were as essential to Victorians as smart phones are today.

Stay healthy
In a time when one in four patients died after surgery, you were very lucky in Victorian times to have a good doctor with a clean operating theatre. There was no anesthesia, no painkillers for after, and no electric equipment to reduce the duration of an operation. Victorian surgery wasn’t just creepy, it was outright horrific.

Say cheese
In the Victorian era, photography was young and extremely costly. When a loved one died, their relatives would sometimes have a photograph taken of the corpse in a pose – oftentimes with other members of the family. For the vast majority of Victorians, this was the only time they would be photographed. In these post-mortem photographs, the effect of life was sometimes enhanced by either propping the subject’s eyes open or painting pupils onto the photographic print, and many early images have a rosy tint added to the cheeks of the corpse. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even braced on specially-designed frames. 27

The citizens of Cape May during the 1890s liked their peaceful existence. An ordinance of 1897 stated that no driver, runner or conductor of a coach, omnibus or carriage of any hotel or boarding house was permitted to “halloo, shout or call out” the names of these places upon their arrival of train at the railroad depot.

Down the aisle
The accepted career for women in the Victorian era was marriage. To get ready for courtship and marriage a girl was groomed like a racehorse. In addition to being able to sing, play an instrument and speak a little French or Italian, the qualities a young Victorian gentlewoman needed were to be innocent, virtuous, biddable, dutiful and be ignorant of intellectual opinion. Yeah, right.

Those playful Victorians!
Victorians liked toys with long names, like phenakistoscope! This was a spinning-picture toy. It made it seem you were looking at moving pictures. Old pictures make them look really serious, but Victorians also liked silly rhymes, like the nonsense verses of Edward Lear, who wrote The Owl and the Pussycat.

Victorian dining etiquette The tablecloth should be of the finest quality. The room may be lighted with either white or colored candles or lamps. A low dish of flowers with light to no fragrance is the preferred centerpiece. Never make an ostentatious display of wealth. At a large dinner, each place setting should include a plate, two large knives, a small knife and fork for fish, three large forks, a tablespoon for soup, a small oyster-fork for raw oysters and a water goblet. The knives and oyster fork should be placed on the right side of the plate, the other forks on the left.
Bread should be cut in thin slices, and laid on a napkin on the left of each plate. Place glasses at the right of each plate. Commence dinner with raw oysters, then a choice of one or two soups. Follow the soup with fish, then the meat entree and the salad last. Cheese, bread and butter may be served with the salad course. Then comes dessert and/or fruits and bonbons. Coffee can be served in the drawing room or the parlor. No more than two vegetables should be served with each entree and potatoes should not be offered with fish.
