The Daguerreian Dandy

The proprietor of this modest blog wishes to welcome you to the little 19th century soiree that goes on 'round these parts. You’re likely to be besieged with daguerreotype dandies, hair-raising Gothic Revival furniture, humourous crinoline capers, fair mid-century maidens, saucy postcards, peculiar inventions, melodramatic and tawdry news publication excerpts, a nice helping of American 19th century architecture, mugshots aplenty and artefacts straight out of old Uncle Silas’ curio cabinet.

19th century Gents and their Penny-Farthings...

It's a marvellous day for a daring cycling jaunt in the countryside and photographic studio. How's that father and his bonny little son penny-farthing cycling ensemble? Goodness gracious.

Daguerreian Dandy feels compelled to put this question to long-suffering readers: What's the difference between a well dressed bicyclist and a poorly dressed tricyclist? Attire.
