OK, I admit it - I know a fairly bare minimum about this period. Generic Victorian upper and lower, and "generic" Edwardian upper/lower both highly corsetted and moving towards flapper wear.
But - I've been asked to teach my 4th graders part of their social studies unit for the quarter (I teach Library Media - not social studies), and while history is enough of a interest for me to be able to cover what I *need* to, I realized that clothing had been left out of the unit... and since I'm changing the unit a bit anyway... well, my thought was that the clothing changes between 1890 and 1910 show a heck of a lot about how people both worked and played *and* how many beliefs were rapidly changing... so I'd *love* to include a few pictures that I could show in a PowerPoint, fading from one to another. I've got the same set up for a few pictures (yes, don't worry, well within the "Fair Use" range of copyright rules) of Baltimore from "now" back to "then"... and vice versa... but I have nothing with *people*, beyond one shepherd in Druid Hill Park... and he's not really all that distinctive, y'know? Anyone able to point me to just a few pictures I can use? I'm hoping for male and female, child and adult... from those three general clothing types... well, four really, if I consider general lower working class in there as well. Sigh... this is what I get for coming up with "intersesting" ideas at the last moment, I guess... -Liz (gotta hit a library again tomorrow... and just my luck, my preferred one is across the street from a very crowded Wine Festival... which means little to no parking available...) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
