victorianfanguide:



A jacket from 1885 made of silk and velvet with a quilted satin lining, trimmed with arctic fox fur and silk chenille fringing. The design, which perfectly complimented the exaggerated bustles of the period, combined with the mixture of expensive materials would make this jacket the height of fashion and luxury.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. See the film adaptation of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2008 stage production of Hamlet, staring David Tennant as the prince who could not make up his mind and Patrick Stewart as the usurping king.
