	Magazine Antiques: Woven bead chains of the 1830s
		An examination of fashion magazines published during the 1830s uncovered no references to necklaces or watch chains woven on a bead loom.
		This is actually not surprising, since these periodicals emphasized high fashion, chiefly English and French, rather than American.(9) I know of only one non-American bead chain - an English one dated 1837, a year later than the latest dated American example.(10)
		While portraits are known only of women wearing these chains, it is clear that men wore them as well, for a number of the chains I have examined are worked with men's names and have family histories of having been made for men.

		Texas in the 1830s was not the cultural backwater that many people envision it to have been.
		The high fashion silhouette of a column has evolved into a silhouette that looks much like two triangles balanced one on top of the other at their points.
		All right, you are on your way to becoming an 1830s Texas woman searching for a dress pattern.

	Victorian fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Men's fashionable clothing was perhaps the least volatile, but there was still an enormous difference between the wasp waist and frock coats of the 1830s dandy and the sober sack suits and Norfolk jackets of 1901.
		The term "Victorian fashion" refers to fashion in clothing in the Victorian era, or the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901).
		If we carefully restrict our language, however, and take Victorian fashion to refer to the dress, or in a wider sense, the culture of an upper-middle-class London family of fashion and conventional attitudes, and describe it as it varied from decade to decade, we may be able to usefully describe these phenomena.

	History of Fashion Photography Essay by Aidan O'Rourke Part One
		The technique of photography was developed in the 1830s, but it wasn't until much later that the métier of fashion photography came into existence.
		Though I had enjoyed the fashion photography of contemporary magazines such as Harpers and Queen and Vogue, I had never before seen so many original prints from earlier decades and I responded to them with enthusiasm, hoping to introduce elements of their technique and atmosphere into my own photography.
		The precursors of fashion photography go back to the eighteenth century, when images of fashionable clothes were printed in magazines and often hand-coloured.

		Men's fashionable clothing was perhaps the least volatile, but there was still an enormous difference between the wasp waist and frock coats of the 1830s dandy and the sober sack suits and Norfolk jackets of 1901.
		Women's fashionable clothing started with a straight, Regency silhouette, bloomed into exaggerated skirts and sleeves, moved to small shoulders and even wider skirts supported by crinolines or hoops, and narrowed by way of the bustle to hobble skirts.

	1830s and 1840s in fashion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1830s and 1840s fashion in European and European-influenced clothing is characterized by an emphasis on breadth, initially at the shoulder and later in the hips, in contrast to the narrower silhouettes that had predominated between 1800 and the 1820s.
		1830s hair fashions for evening featured elaborate loops and knots extended out to both sides and up frome the back of the head.
		During the 1830s and 1840s, full skirts were achieved mainly through layers of petticoats, as opposed to the crinoline of the second half of the 1850s.

	"Slaves of the Needle:" The Seamstress in the 1840s
		However, in the 1830s and 1840s, the growing middle class created a new demand for cheap ready-made men's clothing (the work of the bespoke tailor was simply not affordable).
		In the early 1840s, lower middle-class, middle-class, and even upper-class women ("distressed gentlewomen") were increasingly put in the position of having to support themselves.
		For more information on the distressed seamstress in the 1840s, including visual images and her relationship to the political issues of the day, see Beth Harris, "The Works of Women are Symbolical" The Victorian Seamstress in the 1840s, Ph.D. Dissertation, City University of New York, 1997.

	CHS: Costumes & Textile Collection: A Woman's Best Dress
		Fashion "extremes" are not new, and dresses of the 1830s reflect the pendulum swing from one exaggerated style to its opposite.
		The pieces in this gallery show not only the evolving fashion silhouette, shifting from vertical to horizontal emphasis, but upon close examination, we also see evidence that textiles were highly valued, and thus important to save and reuse.
		Prior to the Industrial Revolution, all textiles were valued, especially so during political upheavals when the importation of goods was restricted; therefore it was unquestionably worth the time to unpick a garment in order to refashion it into another style or type of garment.

	Failure Magazine-Archives-History-Cool Customer-Frederic Tudor and the Frozen-Water Trade
		Tudor was careful to insulate the holds of his ships in similar fashion, and under ideal circumstances constructed an icehouse at the destination point to preserve his product for as long as possible.
		By the early 1830s, Tudor was weary of battling new competitors, not to mention the process of harvesting and transporting ice, which involved driving horse-drawn wagons along muddy, bumpy roads in cold, wet and windy conditions.
		By 1825, Tudor was living a comfortable existence on proceeds from ice sales, but the labor-intensive process of hand-cutting large blocks from frozen ponds and lakes limited the growth of the industry.

	Wines & Vines: Retrospective on California grapevine materials part 1
		Beginning in the early 1830s, Jean Louis Vignes, a French immigrant living in Los Angeles, began to import tried-and-true Bordeaux wine grape varieties, with an eye to improving his wines.
		Taking grapes as a model, we note that germplasm was moved in an indiscriminate fashion from its center of origin or its center of collection to new areas of the world without regard to diseases or pests that might be present in the materials.
		California growers were speculating a possible end to the wine industry in France and were stocking their young vineyards with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet franc and Petit Verdot in anticipation of the new opportunities which might become available to them.

	Bunader (Norwegian bunads)
		The fashion of bunads started at the beginning of the 20th century, when Norway was in a very national romantic time, just becoming a country with its own king again after being in union with Sweden for almost 100 years, and Denmark before that.
		Elin's bunad was sewn by seamstress Astrid Rødås in 1994.
		The bunad was made for me by Draktstuggu, the bunad dressmakers at Røros, doing a fine job of hand-stitching the garments.

	[BULWER-LYTTON, Edward George, Baron Lytton]., Falkland ...
		As well as bindings such as our half cloth and boards, the book is also recorded in blue boards with paper spine and label, an early example of the 1830s fashion for publishers to bind the same book concurrently in two or three different styles (see Sadleir, The Evolution of Publisher's Cloth Bindings).
		The author later claimed to have purged 'his bosom of the perilous stuff' of his youthful imagination (preface to the 1835 edition of Pelham) with this morbid novel, in which the brooding Byronic hero, Erasmus Falkland, embarks on a passionate and doomed romance with a married woman.
		The publisher, Henry Colburn, was sufficiently taken with it to advance Bulwer �500 on his next novel, the sensationally popular Pelham (1828).

	sucur
		The debates of the 1930s concerning the Biedermeier did have their problems, among which is the contemporary suspicion that the reappraisal of the 1820s and 1830s was nationalistically motivated: Adolf Bartels, an anti-Semitic populist, tried using Austrian Biedermeier writers as a weapon against "degenerate" modernist writing of the pre-World War One period (4).
		Already by 1900, art historians and fashion historians were using the term Biedermeier to describe the intimate, pretty, and quiet paintings of the 1815 to 1848 period (Carl Spitzweg, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, etc.) or even the furniture and dress styles (4).
		There is even a Biedermeier age of medicine, characterized by an uneasy empiricism that tried to accommodate James Mill's empirical views with echoes of the earlier "organic vitality" theory; Samuel Hahnemann took the mystical principles of earlier Romanticism and gave them a practical twist by starting a curative industry, homeopathy (8-9).

	An Overview of Underwear Part II - The Ladies Treasury of Costume and Fashion
		During the nineteenth century, the corset tended to be worn under the petticoat, until the cuirasse dress of the 1870s induced the fashionable woman to wear her under-petticoat beneath her corset.
		Corsets were indispensable in creating the small waist and lengthening waistline of the 1830s and '40s.
		From the 1890s, the fashionable silhouette would apparently depend entirely upon the wearer's corseted figure and the cut of her clothing.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Atlanta
		Atlanta is sometimes described as a "horizontal city." With few natural barriers to contain or restrict its growth, and greatly influenced by the arrival of the automobile and the increased mobility that it brought, the city has developed in a sprawling, dispersed fashion.
		Atlanta owes its origins to two important developments in the 1830s: the forcible removal of Native Americans (principally Creeks and Cherokees) from northwest Georgia and the extension of railroad lines into the state's interior.
		Antebellum Atlanta was a city led by merchants and railroad men, not planters, and as sectional differences mounted, businessmen and voters in the city tended to oppose secession, often on economic grounds.

	Edward Bulwer, Successful Dramatist
		While most English playwrights of the 1830s and 1840s were badly remunerated (the average in the minor theatres was £20, that in the patent theatres £50), Bulwer was treated in a princely fashion by William Charles Macready, manager of Covent Garden from 1837 to 1839, and of Drury Lane from 1841 to 1843.
		In Macready the play must have had a most unlikely hero, and its success is perhaps best attributed to its appeal (discreetly dressed in period costume) to the radical sentiments of the decade of the Reform Bill.
		Macready testified that the amount a publisher would now offer for the copyright of a play had drastically declined from a high point thirty years before: '100 l.
