7. A Victorian woman posing with teacups on her breasts, 1870s
Well, this is the literal embodiment of keeping abreast with the tea culture! Here we see an audacious Victorian lady from the 1870s, challenging the stiff upper lip norms with her unique approach to teatime. It’s clear that she has no time for trifling teacup tables when her own attire can serve the dual purpose of being a fashion statement and a convenient tea holder. Maybe it was a trendsetter move that got lost in time, or perhaps she just fancied a steamy bustle! Either way, her sense of humor, much like her teacups, remains brimful in this snapshot from history.
