Old Stuff is Neat: A History Lesson

There once was a time when I was a college history major. It was interesting! Unfortunately, grown-up history majors don't get to sleuth about the world for artifacts or lecture about the British Empire. They find other things they like to do, and that's okay. Still, I wanted a place to talk about cool history things, like museum visits, antiques, the crazy clothes people wore, and maybe Marie Antoinette.

Photo reblogged from Fuck Yeah, Victorians!

BACK IN THE DAY. Love it.
