Victorianera - Blog Posts
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her.
No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
An excerpt from Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover”

Reposted from @capturedthreads During the mid-19th century, Japan opened trade with the West for the first time in more than 200 years. The influx of Japanese imports that followed inspired an intense fascination with Japanese art and culture. This fascination manifested itself in the paintings of Victorian era artists like Alfred Stevens, Vincent van Gogh, James McNeill Whistler, and Claude Monet. It also had a profound influence on Victorian fashion. #kimonostyle #japaneseinfluence #victorianera #1870sfashion #victorian #19thcenturyfashion #19thcenturyart #19thcentury #inspiration #historicalfashion #sewing #historicalsewing #museumZero energies. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVlQ9SnWvE/?igshid=1ccrwfvtul8g7
