We always love seeing adverts in #VictorianPeriodicals!

The Salvation Army's evangelical newspaper, The War Cry includes a surprising number of adverts for clothes (as well as sewing machines, bicycles & matches etc.). These show mackintoshes from 1889 and bags & shoes from 1897.

As lovely as those hats are, thankfully today's theatre audiences don’t need such fancy attire

Graphic showing the designs for new judicial attire. "A robe, straight and simple in outline, of blue poplin, with a cloak, or brath, to be worn over one shoulder. This cloak to vary in colour according to the rank of the wearer. The number of colours used would increase with the Dignity of the COurt. The only exception to the blue robe would be that of the Chief Justice, which would be of purple poplin." UCDA P4/1169

Another trend that emerged in the Victorian era, and not just for the upper classes, was postcards. Postcards first appeared in the UK in 1870, commissioned by the British Post Office.

What better way to showcase #EYAFashion than with a portrait of Carl Linnaeus in the native dress of Lapland? Painted by Martin Hoffman, the portrait was used as the frontispiece to Dr. Robert John Thornton's 'The Temple of Flora'.

An article on fashion and the fashion industry (three columns of text in typewriter font and small drawings of various fashions). Includes the text "Anyone who is a slave to fashion or adopts the image of a certain group or sub-culture, is a sucker to the system. Surely we have a choice of what we want to wear don't we? If we don't like it we can always make our own clothes! (Then we may question where the materials come from. As we live in a cash economy we should be aware that buying new clothes / materials contributes directly to the exploitation of the workers.)..."

Image from the article on fashion, showing sketches of three figures wearing clothes described as 'Tweedy', 'The Workerist' and 'Ragged Robin Feminist'

"We are all individual and should be able to decide for ourselves what we want to wear. BE YOURSELF! BE CREATIVE!"

Black and white photo showing Vivien Leigh, wearing a large fur coat and decorative hat is seated at a table, accepting money from somebody buying fundraising stamps. There are others standing around the table wearing big coats with 1940s hairstyles [SBHX8/701]

In 1942 actress Vivien Leigh visited St Bartholomew's Hospital to help raise money during Warship Week. These fundraisers were meant to raise money to build ships to replace those lost during the war. Leigh's fashionable presence seems to have encouraged donations!
