Fun Facts About Victorian Era
The Victorian era (1837-1901) was named after Queen Victoria. She ruled the United Kingdom for 63 years. This was the second-longest reign in British history until Queen Elizabeth II surpassed it.
Victorian fashion was fancy and structured. Women wore corsets and bustles. Men wore top hats and frock coats. You'll see these clothes on the animals in this book!
Afternoon tea became popular in the Victorian era. Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, felt hungry between lunch and dinner. She started having tea and snacks. The tradition spread quickly.
Many fun activities started in this period. These include croquet, lawn tennis, and cycling. You'll see these activities in the coloring book pictures.
Victorian buildings have fancy details, bay windows, and decorative trim. These features make perfect backgrounds for the cute animal characters.
Victorian-Inspired Coloring Tips
- Use rich, deep colors like burgundy, forest green, and navy blue for authentic Victorian color schemes in the backgrounds and clothing.
- Try gold or silver metallic pens for decorative elements like picture frames, jewelry, and architectural details to capture the opulence of the era.
- For Victorian wallpaper and fabric patterns, use repeating colors in a consistent pattern to create an authentic period look.
- Keep animal characters bright and cheerful to maintain the cute contrast with the formal Victorian settings.
- Consider researching actual Victorian color palettes online for inspiration—the Victorians loved rich jewel tones and complex color combinations!
