Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4508800, member: 33"]I knew that! Or at least thought so, from the name. I was trying to give an example of a country outside of the ones you listed where people now throw out the word "Victorian" to mean the era. I agree with what you said about the use of it. In the photo collecting world, people sometimes use "Victorian" (or Victorian Era) if the photo was taken between 1839-1900. (I begin with 1839 because that is when the daguerreotype was announced and when photographic processes started to be used more prevalently. Prior to that there were some, but mostly experimental, processes.) There are some people who extend that into the 20th century, but those are people who are not aware of the date Queen Victoria died.[/QUOTE]
