Icons: Early Victorian Fashions in Art

20 icons of various early Victorian paintings, mostly Joseph Karl Stieler, with some Franz Winterhalter. A good friend pointed these out to me, and I could not resist iconing such prettiness!! ;-D They are mostly in chronological order as well as I could approximate the dates from the clothing and hairstyles, starting with the 1830s and Stieler and ending with the 1850s and Winterhalter. ;-)

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:

Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons. ;-)

I really like the cropping on #11

Thank you!

1, 2 and 8 are my fav, but all are nice ☺

Thank you for the comment! :-)

It's interesting to see how the womens' agency is removed by cutting off their heads and focusing on their chests in icons 10, 15, 16, and 18.

I really like the coloring and I don't think I've ever come across a more thought provoking icon post.

I'm sorry, I have not the pleasure of understanding you. "Agency"? But thank you for the comment, and I'm glad you found it thought-provoking. :-)

You always make the most beautiful icons!

Aww, thank you Rachel! :-D

Your art icons are always so lovely!

Thank you very much! :-D I'm glad you like them.

Stealing numbers 2,4,9 & 14! Beautiful pictures and gorgeous work! Well done!

Thank you! :-D And thanks for the comment.

I really like # 15. The cropping accentuates the contrast between her shoulder and the fabric of the dress. Gorgeous! (taking that, and will credit if used)

Thank you! :-D

Taking #1. Just lovely!

Thanks!

Ooh, pretty! I've snagged 005 and 019.

:-) Thank you for the comment!

Wow! I love all these. What beautiful paintings!

#1 I particularly love, because it reminds me of Lizzy and she's just so pretty. I also liked:
3 - she looks like she needs a talk over Starbucks.
7 - Red! and the crop is nice.
14 - I love all the ones with this girl, but I think I like this crop the best. She's sooo pretty.
16 - Lace!!!
17 - She looks like a governess. I like the way the background darkens at the edges.
18 - Purple!

Beautiful job!

:-D Aren't they? I never would have found them if a friend hadn't shared them with me and I HAD to share them as icons because they caaaallllled tooooo meeeeeee. ;-P haha.

Ooh, you're right! I think JA said something in her letters about imagining Lizzy as wearing a yellow gown.

You mean she's sad?

I love that painting the best, too, or one of the best at least. There are a lot of ones that I love best. ;-P

16 reminds me of Book!Margaret Hale. Not quite coral jewelry, but she has black hair and a white gown. ;-) *has N&S on the brain*

Yes, purple! At least we've established that you know your colors. ;-P

Thank you very much m'dear! *bows and swoops hat low, dusting feather on ground*

Hello! I got here through the aesthetic icons community, and I am very much in love with your entire livejournal. As a mutual fan of historical fashion and period literature, I was wondering if I could friend you?

Sure, why not? :-)

These are gorgeous. I love #14.

I adore #13 (it reminds me of a queen in a book called The Theif by Megan Whalen Turner) and I think I'll take #s 5 and 8 as well on the offchance I'll use them sometime too. Thank you for sharing!

My pleasure, and thank you for the comment! I'm glad you enjoy them. :-)

What beautiful icons! I'm borrowing #15 if I may - the colouring on the dress is gorgeous.

Thank you!

Heheh, of course. Enjoy! :-)
