What the Heck is that Thing?

Victorian Household Innovations

New theme for 2016! The Victorians used tools in the home that would bewilder the 21st century householder. Such gizmos as button hooks and magic lanterns had a specific use for Victorians, but today are obsolete. Learn about curious gadgets like these, how they worked, and why they were as essential to Victorians as smart phones are today.

Lots of ways to enjoy the Physick Estate! SEE PAGE 7 GUIDED & SELF-GUIDED TOURS............PAGE 7 CLUELESS AT THE PHYSICK ESTATE........PAGE 7 GHOST TOURS...................................... PAGE 22 Historic site administered by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) 6

Sweep that soot!

In a city once ravaged by fire, one of the duties of the building inspector in Cape May during the 1890s was to see to it that every owner or occupant of a house had their chimney swept during the month of May each and every year, under penalty of a $5 to $50 fine.

It’s just a story….

It was the Victorian period that gave us such great works of terror as Dracula, and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Even the Americans got in on the act with Edgar Allen Poe producing some of the greatest Gothic literature of the time. The Victorians knew how to frighten people and they knew how to do it in grand style. These works still form the basis of much modern horror and their power to thrill has not dwindled in the least.

Stay healthy

In a time when one in four patients died after surgery, you were very lucky in Victorian times to have a good doctor with a clean operating theatre. There was no anesthesia, no painkillers for after, and no electric equipment to reduce the duration of an operation. Victorian surgery wasn’t just creepy, it was outright horrific.

Use your indoor voice

The citizens of Cape May during the 1890s liked their peaceful existence. An ordinance of 1897 stated that no driver, runner or conductor of a coach, omnibus or carriage of any hotel or boarding house was permitted to “halloo, shout or call out” the names of these places upon their arrival of train at the railroad depot.

Down the aisle

The accepted career for women in the Victorian era was marriage. To get ready for courtship and marriage a girl was groomed like a racehorse. In addition to being able to sing, play an instrument and speak a little French or Italian, the qualities a young Victorian gentlewoman needed were to be innocent, virtuous, biddable, dutiful and be ignorant of intellectual opinion.

Yeah, right.

What’s yours is mine

Until late in the century in 1887 a married woman could own no property. Then in 1887 the Married Woman’s Property Act gave women rights to own her own property. Previously her property, frequently inherited from her family, belonged to her husband on marriage. She became the chattel of the man. During this era if a wife separated from her husband she had no rights of access to see her children. A divorced woman had no chance of acceptance in society again.

Still turned on

The Cape May Lighthouse is still a working beacon. The Coast Guard continues to operate the light as an active aid to navigation. The light is visible 24 miles out at sea and flashes every 15 seconds. A lighthouse’s flash pattern is called its “characteristic;” every lighthouse has its own light characteristic and exterior paint scheme (called a daymark) so that ship captains can tell them apart.

Victorian women had rights? right to sue, or the right to own property.

At the same time, women participated in the paid workforce in increasing numbers following the Industrial Revolution.

Feminist ideas spread among the educated female middle classes, discriminatory laws were repealed, and the women’s suffrage movement gained momentum in the last years of the Victorian Era.

The status of women in the Victorian era is often seen as an illustration of the striking discrepancy between national power and wealth and what many, then and now, consider appalling social conditions.

During the era symbolized by the reign of British monarch Queen Victoria, women did not have suffrage rights, the

Busy hands

So many women’s activities of the mid and late 19th century served to show that they were middle class. Making artificial flowers was one of these. Both time-consuming and useless, making artificial flowers proved that your husband’s income made it possible for you to do no housework. Along with disabling clothing and countless crafts, flower-making was a visible sign of middle-class-ness. The conventions of the time made women almost literally prisoners in their parlors.

Victorian dining etiquette The tablecloth should be of the finest quality. The room may be lighted with either white or colored candles or lamps. Many prefer to have a portion of the light fall from side brackets or from the wall.

Furniture and other room decor should be arranged in such a manner that it will not interfere with the guests’ view of one another.

A low dish of flowers with light to no fragrance is the preferred centerpiece.

Never make an ostentatious display of wealth.

At a large dinner, a card bearing the name of the guest should be laid beside each plate.

Each place setting should include a plate, two large knives, a small knife and fork for fish, three large forks, a tablespoon for soup, a small oyster-fork for raw oysters and a wa-

ter goblet. The knives and oyster fork should be placed on the right side of the plate, the other forks on the left.

Bread should be cut in thin slices, and laid on a napkin on the left of each plate. Place glasses at the right of each plate.

Commence dinner with raw oysters, then a choice of one or two soups. Follow the soup with fish, then the meat entree and the salad last. Cheese, bread and butter may be served with the salad course. Then comes dessert and/or fruits and bonbons. Coffee can be served in the drawing room or the parlor.

No more than two vegetables should be served with each entree and potatoes should not be offered with fish.
