“I love you with an everlasting love…”
My beloved Duke and I don our vintage and celebrate our passion.
Photographed by Bert Le.
My dearest lover, Resplendent-Duke, and I at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA. Photo taken by the talented Burt Le.
A pretty woman poses for photographer, Ivan Rigyitsky in Werschetz. Werschetz (German name) is a town in Serbia. It is known as Vrsac in Serbia. The town has been under the rule of several different governments over modern times. It was once part of Austria-Hungary. This image has some interesting features. The woman is dressed very fashionably and she is holding an open beautiful fan. Note the lovely scene pictured on the fan. The young lady has a nice figure, with the help of a corset, no doubt.
Alphonso & Imogene: An Idyl of Henry’s Carbolic Salve
Alphonso loved dearly the blithe Imogene whose face was the fairest that ever was seen; but when he proposed, “Alas”, Imogene said “I would gladly accept and with thee would wed, but with ugly eruptions your face is so scarred that all my life’s future, with you would be marred unless you remove them; so if me you’d have, you must cure them with HENRY’S CARBOLIC SALVE.
“You are too ugly to marry me, you ghoul.”
Unlike many Victorian trade cards, the product advertised here, Henry’s Carbolic Salve, was not actually complete quackery - it probably wouldn’t have cleared boils and acne very effectively, but carbolic soaps were the product of choice for Henry Lister, when he was trying to push hand-washing and sanitation before surgical procedures.

I have been researching the look and feel of the late 19th century and found some perfect images. Aren’t they beautiful?
