Young couple in Victorian costume holding one another ( This picture was labeled “Victorian” But I feel the girls dress is more Edwardian.) I love this picture though.
The notation found with this image says that it was taken in 1910. There was nothing in the description that explained the circumstances of this passionate kiss, but it certainly is the perfect illustration of what we ladies might have imagined about "Victorian romance"! I love the detail on her gown, too! You are purchasing a DIGITAL FILE which you will DOWNLOAD after purchase so can print your own 8 x 10 black and white 300dpi image. For best results, use high quality matte finish photo paper. Or, you can have the file printed by a professional service such as Shutterfly, Snapfish, or your local photo finishing outlet like Walgreens or Walmart. AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING A PHYSICAL ITEM. Note that this image is vintage and will not necessarily have the sharpness and clarity of today's images, although every effort has been made to adjust them so that they are of the highest quality possible. FOR THAT REASON, THE IMAGE SHOULD NOT BE PRINTED LARGER THAN 8 X 10 OR LOSS OF CLARITY WILL OCCUR. After purchase, you can access your downloads by visiting your Etsy Profile > Purchases and Reviews If you purchased as a 'guest', you will receive an automated email from Etsy containing your download links. Once payment is cleared, Etsy will notify you that your downloads are available. If you have any questions about the download process, please visit Etsy’s help center: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/3949 TERMS OF USE: You may use the purchased image as many times as you like for personal use or incorporate it into a product for sale, such as selling it as an actual print in your bricks and mortar shop. You MAY NOT resell the digital image itself in any way online. IMPORTANT NOTE: I consider this image to be equivalent to "altered art" or "upcycled" items -- because if it wasn't extensively repaired by me, it wouldn't truly be able to be "brought back to life." I have to alter the images in order to restore them -- repairing tears, stains and blotches, doing extensive work in Photoshop. Sometimes I have to add background (or remove items) to get the image to fit today's sizes. Don't be fooled by others who sell images that are not restored in any way -- not until you enlarge them to look at the actual pixels can you see all the scratches, black spots, and many other imperfections in these antique images. Only with this time-consuming, painstaking restoration can you achieve a quality print.
Lover's Tryst by Richard Borrmeister February is a special month on Historical Romance Review as it's the month in which we celebrate love and Valentine's Day (as well as Pirate, Privateer & Love on the High Seas romances). So I thought to begin with an interesting tidbit from history. What did the Georgians and Victorians mean by "making love"? Research on this issue was the project of Dr. Clelia Duel Mosher, a hygiene academic who, between 1892 and 1920, persuaded 45 women to fill out questionnaires on their experiences of sex, marriage and contraception. Not surprisingly, the results show that most women knew little about sex before marriage with some admitting they only picked up the facts of life by observing the habits of farm animals. But once married, most women said that their sex lives were active and they enjoyed the “habitual bodily expression of love”. As Fraser Sutherland notes in his essay Why Making Love Isn’t What It Used to Be, where he examines the writing of Victorian men of letters, the term “make love” has undergone change over the last several centuries. Early on, the phrase referred to both wooing and sexual intercourse. The Oxford English Dictionary lists the first date for the term “to make love” as 1567, citing Certaine Tragicall Discourses of Bandello with many Georgian and Victorian uses listed as well: 1768, L. Sterne Sentimental Journey “You have been making love to me all this while.” 1784, R. Bage Barham Downs “You..may make love, and play your pitty patties.” 1829, W. Cobbett Advice to Young Men “It is an old saying, ‘Praise the child, and you make love to the mother’.” 1845, T. Hood Poems (1846) “Oh there's nothing in life like making love.” Thus, the term’s euphemistic usage was firmly entrenched by the early seventeenth century, and remained so into the early twentieth century. Take a look at my Georgian and Regency Novels, including my Valentine’s Day novella, The Shamrock & The Rose where the hero and heroine do, eventually, "make love". See them on my Website.

William Powell Frith 1819-1909 Engeland
In the heart of Victorian London, a gentleman named Henry and his charming companion, Eleanor, embarked on a holiday stroll that transcended time. Henry, adorned in a tailored coat and top hat, exuded refined elegance, while Eleanor's festive gown sparkled like a jewel against the snow-dusted cobblestones. As they walked beneath the warm glow of gas lamps, the air filled with the nostalgic melody of Christmas carols. Wreath-adorned storefronts created a whimsical backdrop for their romantic journey, casting a spell of enchantment on the wintry scene. Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this image prompt invites artists to portray the couple's expressions and period attire, weaving together the romance and festive spirit of a Victorian Christmas. #VictorianHolidayRomance #LondonStroll #ChristmasElegance

Victorians might be remembered for their straight-laced way of life, but these portraits prove there were many men who were unafraid to push the boundaries. The provocative series of black-and-white 19th-century images show men posing in intimate positions. They are seen holding hands, wrapping their arms around each other, and sitting on each other's laps with their legs entwined. The images - mainly stereographs and daguerreotypes - are part of a collection bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, by Columbia University librarian Herbert Mitchell.
