Land Of Enchantment: British Fantasy Illustration In The Golden Age, Kimberly C. Weatherford

Watkinson Publications

Guide for exhibition held by Watkinson Library, 1997.

The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Britain saw a proliferation of sumptuously illustrated books, incorporating fantasy in its many facets. The times were right, with the social and political climate favorable to fantastic and visionary literature and art. An expanding British empire was sparking fascination with the non-Western world, giving rise to illustrations of exotic, far-away lands. At the same time, increasing interest in revivalism (Gothic, Medieval, and Renaissance), exotism, and spiritualism found a natural outlet in fantastic themes.

The Styles Of Clothing Worn By Women In Minnesota From 1870 To 1880, Katrina Dolezal

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

My thesis was a study of the different styles of women's clothing worn in Minnesota during the 1870's. I have had two basic purposes for the study reported in this thesis.

I also desired to assemble an illustrated record of typical women's fashion during this period. Pioneer women, who settled even in remote corners of the state, still tried to keep up to date with the fashion prevalent in the rest of the nation, but concessions to fashion …
