Different periods of history attract people for different reasons. People might become obsessed with Ancient Egypt for its distinct culture, inventions, and mysticism. Others may find colonial America fascinating since it marked the beginning of what we now know as the United States. If we were to believe the Internet, men tend to think about the Roman Empire a lot.

But the folks over at "Random Victorian Stuff" have a fascination with England during the 19th century. Some historians call it the peak of the British Empire; others just love it for the aesthetic and the vibes. Yet, we can't deny that there's something about it that draws people in. Here is the newest collection of photographs from the community dedicated to bringing you "a dose of informed distraction."
