Death and attending Funerals was much more common at this time in history, so being fashionable at a funeral was the done thing. Supplying the paraphernalia of funerals was a big industry.
Nowadays, its probably a bigger industry but we have largely sanitized death and removed it from sight. I'm also interested in the prevalence of Hunting clothing which makes me realize just how common and popular hunting was then.
If you are an artist and interested in stories of this period or in steam-punk stories, this is your reference. For somone costuming a story or a movie, TV show or play, this stuff is a treasure trove.
Thanks to the uploader.
