The Behaviour Book: A Manual for Ladies, 1853
#the phrase “bad complexion” is bad#but for the time this is better than many people who had no recoil in sneering at darker skin#I wonder how many people actually had that attitude back then#seems like a minority probably#I know a bit about disability in the victorian era and it wasnt great#the “dunce” hat was invented in the victorian era#I hope whoever wrote this helped the social change that was happening at the era#1853#1850s#etiquette#history#high class#upper class#chrsitianity#christian
