Old-fashioned 'funnies'

Here are some adorable little olden-day comics, I found on http://www.sensibility.com/, about the change in fashions and all its hardships;fussings, mendings, hoop-skirts, and *of course* corsets.

Also the text below each of these is very small, and not very readable, so I will write it below too. For you! :o]

-"Arabella Maria. "Only to think, Julia dear, that our Mothers wore such ridiculous fashions as these!

Both. "Ha ha, Ha ha!"-

New contrivance for lady's maids, adapted to the present style of fashions. (He, he! :oD)

Remarkable convenience of hoops for young Mothers in the country.

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I do!
