Two of the most stunning and popular actresses of Edwardian England were the sisters Dare, Phyllis and Zena, who for decades delighted audiences in London's West End and on tour. At the height of their fame, their likenesses graced hundreds of picture postcards, which were sold across the country. As a boy, the famed critic

For this unit, we had to create a timeline that shows all of the important art movements from the 19th and 20th century. To do this, we had to research different types of art (such as Realism, Pop Art, Surrealism, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, etc) and write a short description that gave it a date and explained its most important aspect. In our groups we split the workload so that each person had an equal amount of work to do. I think that creating the timeline helped me to understand how each movement slowly changed over time, including the influences each one gives later on down the line.

Although fashion did not embrace the look of trousers on the female form until the late 20th century, history saw working women wearing them a hundred years prior. From Victorian coal miners who rolled up their skirts around their waist to reveal soot-covered pants underneath to today’s terrible backlash of factory-torn denim, spandex jeggings, and bedazzled bums, women’s pants have undergone quite a transformation. Let’s take a look at the early fashion of women’s pants from the festooned Victorian era right on through to the ultra glamorous 1930s.

French Situationist Guy Debord's seminal analysis of consumer capitalism in the late 20th century.

Have you heard the phrase “it’s a dirty job but somebody’s got to do it?” That could apply any of the dangerous and death defying jobs from the 20th century that we’ve catalogued here. Regardless of where they lived, people have always wanted to provide for their families.

Genocides are considered to be the worst atrocity a state or world leader can commit. They are condemned by every international body, and the scars of some of h

The Exposition Universelle of 1900 was a world's fair held in Paris, France, from 14 April to 12 November 1900, to celebrate the achievements of the past century and to accelerate development into the next. The style that was universally present in the Exposition was Art Nouveau. The fair, visited by nearly 50 million, displayed many machines, inventions, and architecture that are now nearly universally known, including the Grande Roue de Paris Ferris wheel, Russian nesting dolls, diesel engines, talking films, escalators, and the telegraphone (the first magnetic audio recorder). A collection of 59 amazing vintage photos will show you a panoramic view of the world's fair in 1900. (Photos from Robert Bonnin)

Kensington and Chelsea Libraries have published several wonderful images by the late amateur photographer Edward Linley Sambourne which captures the casual side of Edwardian fashion in a manner which is rarely seen.

There are captured little moments in history that, while not considered as iconic, had just as much historical significance. Captured moments like these make up the cultural and social narrative of the past, giving us a clearer look of how life was like back then.

The image of the American frontier and old west saloons, stretching from the latter decades of the 19th century to the early years of the 20th century, is

On this 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, what do women want? Everything we deserve.

I have good reason to be grateful to Edward Linley Sambourne. My original post about his street photography (Street Style 1906) has been the most popular single item on this blog and has brought in…

MUSEUM VICTORIA - Dr Elycia J Wallis, Manager of Online Collections, presents a few fascinating glimpses of late-19th- and early-20th-century Australia, and the photographers who documented its inhabitants.

The images offer a glimpse of a time gone by in Ireland, with horses in the streets, people sitting on mail trucks, and food and livestock changing hands in public squares.

Our Instagram feeds are often flooded with photos from the same day or the previous weekend. And while it’s great to have the capability to share information so rapidly, we know what the modern world looks like. We can walk through our front doors or gaze out from our balconies to get a taste of today’s times. But if you’re craving a blast from the past, we’ve got the perfect article for you.
