Victorian Era Costumes That I Find Similar to Anime Character Designs

I'd like to dispel the notion that a Victorian would pass away at the sight of an anime girl. Sure, rich ladies didn't like to show ankle, but there are more people out there. These are a variety of costumes from burlesques (then known mainly for being comedic), ballets, and theatre. A few are not by performers, and were for taken for personal reasons. These are all from the 1860s-1910, so Victorian and Edwardian (if you will).

For example, if the QWERTY keyboard of the United States had not been adopted elsewhere in the world as well – say, if Japan or Europe had adopted the much more efficient Dvorak keyboard – that trivial decision in the 19th century might have had big consequences for the competitive position of 20th-century American technology.

It is full of nothing but an empty landscape. So I pick the airplane. I chose this option now because I want to get there wherever there is. 🤯 I know right? King of the Road says he is taking a plane “say it anit so.” “Yup” 🤠 And…
