A metal and leather straight-back dresser trunk from around 1890. Designed with the savvy traveler in mind, this trunk converted from a standard steamer trunk into a functional dresser, meaning you didn't have to unpack your belongings during your journey.

both of the rosier twins and regulus black belong in the victorian era, but barty could not ever exist anywhere but the 21st century

I was a gay time traveler who traveled back to Victorian England and met this world traveler. I told him about the future and he took me on his travels around the world while writing love poetry for his fiancé back home. Sometimes he’d read me the poetry while we held hands. I’d collect little souvenirs to take back to future with me. We’d look into each other’s eyes a lot.

Timeless Necessities—Oban, Argyll, Scotland, UK 2023

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

The late 1800s and early 1900s were periods of profound change, with the Industrial Revolution reshaping economies, societies, and lifestyles. Urbanization surged as people migrated from rural areas to cities in search of work and new opportunities. This shift led to the development of infrastructure, such as roads and public transportation systems, that facilitated movement and connected communities like never before. The unpaved street depicted in the photograph represents a transitional moment; while many streets were still unpaved, the burgeoning transportation networks would soon revolutionize travel.

Bicycles played a crucial role in this transformation, becoming symbols of freedom and mobility during the 19th century. With the introduction of the safety bicycle in the 1880s, cycling surged in popularity, providing individuals with an affordable means of transportation. Women, in particular, embraced cycling as it afforded them greater independence and mobility, challenging traditional gender roles in the process. The sight of people riding bikes in the photograph reflects this newfound liberation and the societal shifts that accompanied it.

Hot air balloons, meanwhile, captured the imagination of the public, representing the adventurous spirit of exploration and the quest for flight. The first successful human flight in a hot air balloon took place in 1783, and by the late 19th century, ballooning had evolved into a popular recreational activity. Events like balloon races and exhibitions drew crowds, fostering a sense of wonder about the possibilities of human flight. The presence of a hot air balloon in your photograph serves as a metaphor for the optimistic vision of the future that many people shared during this time. It signified not just technological progress but also the aspiration to transcend earthly limitations.

Time Travel Question : Murder and Disappearance Edition I

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.
