Victorian Times - January 2025

Home > Victorian Times Magazine > January 2025



Please note that content of upcoming issues may change.

New Year's Day (English Illustrated Magazine, 1895)
The first day of the year has been of great significance in nearly every country and culture of the world, and this article takes us on a journey to many of them.
Our Girls in Switzerland (Girl's Own Paper, 1896)
Tips on planning a journey to Switzerland.
Obstacle Races (The Strand, 1892)
"We are not above any amount of hearty ridiculous fun... [such as] climbing a greasy pole after a leg of mutton, eating hot hasty-pudding for a prize, and jumping in a sack..."
The Ivory King (Pearson's, 1896)
"It is only owing to his size that the elephant has not become... a domestic pet. No four-legged animal has more intelligence. Not in a single one of the many ages in which he has lived is there an instance on record where he has either bitten or scratched a child."
From Reading to Paris in a Houseboat (Pearson's, 1898)
Houseboats were, heretofore, a distinctly British tradition - until a French countess decided to order one, and have it delivered to Paris!
Food for Cold Weather (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1877)
"In cold weather we require fat," says this article, and recommends the "greasy stock" of pea soup, as well as Irish stew, celery sauce and more.
Some of Our Neighbours' Children (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1882)
"The life of a child born of vagrant parents in the purlieus of Spitalfields, Wapping, and like places, is in most cases a very said one to portray."
French Terms Used in Cooking (Good Housekeeping, 1886)
Sometimes, this author notes, there is no good direct translation of a French term to the English, unless one wishes to refer to an omelette souffle as "an omelette blown up."
Medicinal Herbs (Girl's Own Paper, 1898)
"I will merely give a slight sketch first of the herbs which we may easily grown in our gardens... and then we will roam out into the country and pick some of the many plants which flower and prosper best when left in their own self-chosen habitat."
My Bamboos, and What They Cost Me (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1878)
The author thought the bundle of bamboos was a bargain--until he tried to have them shipped to his country home!
The Making of Flannel Tapestry (Cassell's Household Guide, 1895)
An embroidery style that is particularly suited to large items, such as bed-spreads and table-covers.
Household Pets and Pests (Good Housekeeping, 1888)
A short article looking at dogs, cats, horses... and rats.
A Day in the Life of a Scavenger Boy (English Illustrated Magazine, 1899)
In a day of horse-drawn conveyances, how were London streets kept clean? By the work of the scavenger boy!
Table Etiquette (Good Housekeeping, 1889)
"Hints on the duties of host, hostess, guests and servants."
The Brook and Its Banks (Girl's Own Paper, 1886-1887)
Start of a lovely 11-part series covering the flora and fauna of the British brook - for "a brook has many points of view."
Every-Day Desserts, and Desserts for Every Day (Good Housekeeping, 1888-1889)
Next in a 12-part series that literally offers a recipe for a different dessert for ever day of the year.
ZigZags at the Zoo: Accipitral [Eagles, Falcons, Vultures and Owls] (The Strand, 1893A)
This lovely, and lengthy, series looks at all the different types of creatures to be found at the London Zoo, with marvelous caricatures by H.A. Shepherd.
Recipes: Oysters (Good Housekeeping, 1886)
