From Spain and Portugal's Leiria Fountain to Achelous and Naiads' mythical tales, this caption explores the essence of propriety. Influential figures like G-F Tournachon Ka Nadar captured the spirit of the times through their lens, while home safety became synonymous with home defense. Men were encouraged to learn proper fire control techniques to protect their loved ones. Merula's preface to Martial's Epigrammata reminds us of the importance placed on literature and education during this period. Meanwhile, Mil Mi-2Ch Chekla 00221 showcases advancements in aviation technology that fascinated Victorians.

Join us on this journey back in time as we unravel the intricacies of Victorian life through these diverse glimpses into what it meant to be "proper.
