You’re in her DMs, I’m screaming her name across the moors and she somehow hears me. We’re not the same.

Maria Barnes Hooper, wearer

Maria Barnes was born in 1827 in Hingham, Mass., to parents Ensign Barnes Jr. and Deborah Lincoln. The Lincoln family has notable members of American History, including Major General Benjamin Lincoln, who served under George Washington in the Revolutionary War and received British commander Lord Charles Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown, and Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.

Maria married John Sewell Hooper, a stationary merchant, in Hingham in 1852. The Hoopers applied for a passport in 1865 that shows the couple and their young son traveling to France. Family legend states that Maria purchased this dress for $100 (about $1,800 today) from Madame Vignon, a renowned Parisian dressmaker. Vignon also created the wedding dress and trousseau for the French Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III.

Seit einem Jahr ist er allein

Die Trauer nahm ihm alle Sinne

Schläft jede Nacht bei ihrem Stein…»

One think I love about the Enola Holmes movies is how they link the plot to real life events of the Victorian era such as the Reform Acts, the matchmakers strike, Women’s vote…

Idk if it’s because I’m a little history nerd but truly it makes the movies 100x more precious to me
