This is Flaming June by Frederic Leighton (1895).
Are you as obsessed as I am with the color of her gown? I love how it seems to merge with her hair.

In the Victorian era, when Sir J. M. Barrie was six years old, his older brother David died in an accident.
Barrie’s mother, broken by the loss of her favourite child, shut herself in a darkened room, clinging to the idea that David would never grow up.

In the Victorian era, Mary Seacole, a Jamaican-born nurse, was not part of Florence Nightingale’s official team at all.
After being rejected multiple times—almost certainly because of racial prejudice—she paid her own way to the Crimean War front.

In the Victorian era, some public baths rented out communal towels...and they were anything but clean.
Sanitary inspectors reported that these towels were reused again and again without washing, sometimes handed to dozens of bathers in a single day.

In the Victorian era, many women carried tiny silver vinaigrettes wherever they went.
These delicate boxes—often tucked inside a reticule (hand bag)—contained a sponge soaked in scented ammonia or aromatic vinegar.

In the Victorian era, some rural chimney sweeps used a live goose to clean wide flues in country houses.
Old estate chimneys were too broad for a child, so the sweep would tie a rope loosely around a goose and draw it through the sooty shaft.

Their slow meandering was thought to add refinement and charm to small urban gardens, and they were so popular that London shops sold them for just a few pennies.
