How People In The Victorian Era Spent Their Free Time

- In a time before smartphones, social media, and binge-watching, the Victorians were remarkably creative in finding ways to spend their free time.
A culture obsessed with the afterlife, the Victorians would spend the day enjoying a meal next to a grave and then the evening trying to contact a lost loved one. Fascinated by the teachings of Charles Darwin and the scientific revolution, they paid fortunes to collect rare plants and witness medical anomalies firsthand. Even expired animals could be grouped into entertaining tableaux for audiences to wonder at.

This is how I spend my free time, watching how other people spent their free time
*women did barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen back then* .
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 wow...classy...
Fair enough
I spend my free time watching you 👀
Ironic isn’t it lol
That taxidermied cat playing the piano proves that humanity has never changed. These were what Victorians did for memes before you could photoshop a dog in human clothes.
🤣🤣🤣
I see why the public (and Queen Victoria) laughed like idiots at those displays. It's so morbid and messed up...and yet it's hilarious!
Or watch keyboard cat on UA-cam
The only thing that changed is that we now have a way to show it to lots of other people
@@yourmother3126 I agree. I'll read history or biography about something back then and I'll be like some things don't change
Year 2150:
People in the 2020s usually spent their free time on UA-cam watching videos.
2150 teacher: and in 2020 of you were alive you were condemned with dealing with the virus and paranoia of war but 2020s were the best year for what was essentially a TV show, literature, video game, and movie Renaissance as anniversaries for beloved franchises were celebrated left and right while critically acclaimed series came out like ridley scott's Raised by wolves anyways its time to learn about capitol hill
And there was also baking, lots and lots of baking 😕
There were also these completely insane traditional practices called "hugging" and "holding hands". We know this based on the ancient manuscripts left over from the time before the great Zombie apocalypse.
Yes lots and lots of getting baked
True!
"God dammit, Timmy, hold your dead sisters' hand and smile at the camera!" "Cheeeeese"
Milk flew out of my nose as I read this
Lmao how does this comment have so few likes?! That was epic funny.
)l
Yes that was such a macabre thing to do!!! Have seen some of those photos in a museum. Cant believe they thought that was ok😬😱
The creepiest thing about those photos is that you can usually tell who's dead. They're the only one not blurry because they're the only one who can be perfectly still.
I still picnic at the cemetary once a year to spend time with my grandparents. Nowadays I think people are too quick to forget their dead relatives and never visit their graves anymore like they used to.
@@Dany_Stormborn Natural burial is becoming more popular. Look up "Ask a Mortician" on UA-cam. She's fun to watch and interesting.
@@julienielsen3746 Yes, I like the idea of becoming fertilizer for a tree. Can't do that if you've been cremated. You're useless once you're ash. Nothing but phosphate dust.
@@maidenminnesota1 Ash has fair, good use.
Agreed
@@julienielsen3746 she's great!
The Victorians were such a weird bunch, I was always fascinated with the era.
So are we!
You’d be weird too, watching the “magic” of the industrial revolution unfold and haphazardly trickle into your world. Hell, we are all going to seem very weird to whatever comes after us as they see how we watched and participated in the information age trickling into our lives... eventually flooding it.
And oddly familiar
I’ve always been more partial to the Edwardian era bc it was like the Victorian Era but much more carefree. Edward VII was only on the throne for like a decade but he modernized society. Although all monarchs technically have an era, it truly only applies to a few in popular culture and history. Like the Elizabethan era or the Georgian era. The latter is why George V and George VI’s era isn’t referred to as Georgian eras. It makes you think of a completely different time period.
Facts 😂
"They were definitely into some dark subject matter"
This pretty much sums this entire video lol
Exactly!! They did some dark ass hobbies. Grim vibe like the Addams Family and that is where Charles Addams got the inspiration....the eerie and depressing Victorian Architectural style of its time
To summarize the video: death, death, death, more death, death with guests from the other side, Instagram, flower emojis
And in the future during their free time, the people will look at how we spent our free time looking at what others did in their free time.
Social media like Facebook and Instagram
*mind blown*
That’s deep
I KNOW Right 😂😂😂

I was reading about this for the Redeemer Cemetery and Baltimore Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland along the US-1 corridor. The Brehms Brewery was nearby and they had beer gardens. If you missed your loved ones, after burying them, get trashed.
@@jgallardo7344 “well, ethel’s dead, lmaoooo lets go drink the pain away guys!”
Picnics on battlefields were also common, particularly during the American Civil War. Granted it was largely only the middle or upper classes that enjoyed this pastime if I recall correctly.
as a huge true crime fan myself, it’s kinda fun seeing how a fascination with true crime in a way started with people flocking to morgues in the victorian era
If there wouldn't be people whining about it, I'd bet people would buy tickets to go to a morgue or watch an autopsy.
@@Kevs442 Yeah, all those whiners who...don't want some rando screwing up a criminal investigation or looking at their loved one's naked body being dissected. So unfair.
@@Kevs442 first thing I thought was I wanna watch
The Victorian era was always so fascinating to me ....

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 LOL
Weird that the age of consent was 10 years old then. Kinda creepy.
@@justayoutuber1906 omg really ? That’s horrible
@@justayoutuber1906 I think it's because life expectancy is very short by that time so as young as 10 yrs old their child will have suitors/be engaged to someone yeah It's really creepy but at least that custom stopped by the time medicines and life expectancy improved.
The spiritualists were called "mediums" because it was rare when they were well done.

*that’s what they wanted you to think!*
Can't get over that Diatom arrangement. That blew my mind. Why didn't anyone tell me?
I’m pretty sure the modern interpretation of the word boredom came to prominence in Victorian Britain. As industrialization started to give people more free time, as opposed to spending all day just trying to survive.
Yeah, about that... Victorian industrialization gave the people plenty of it's own struggle to keep survival on it's toes.
We work more than they did during medieval times lol...shat is a myth
Swaying blissfully in the sea
Mermaids, seahorses swim around thee
Elegance weaved like a wayward breeze
Until thy human plucked up me
Stuck my graceful motion to and fro
In thy scrapbook for all to know
Now I lie here, I no longer grow
But thy colors will gently flow
Off thy pages forever on show...
Be it the year 1901
or the far off date of 2021
The sea holds beauty second to none
Her dance of time goes on undone
Which is why thy loveliness has been forever spun
For you to turn thy pages one... by.... one...

In Australia we don't have "church cemeteries" most of ours here are all huge and beautifully designed with park/picnic areas, toilet blocks, palms, water features etc. You're even encouraged to bring your dogs. Death isn't as morbid or taboo here, we're not religious like other countries, we celebrate death through life. Becides burying a loved one is hard enough as it is. Eating lunch then walking and calming your mind through the scenery at a cemetary here helps you understand death is normal and makes you appreciate your own life more.
This is nice.
Ours are just a bunch of tomb stones arranged in rows just on the edge of town.
The cemetery itself may not be pretty but the tombstones are extravagant.
Yeah, I thought that was weird. Most modern cemeteries in the US are the "park" version with open space and occasionally somewhere to rest, and eating lunch there wouldn't be a big deal so much as making sure you don't leave trash behind. Not even mentioning the cultural differences between the "spooky dead people, ghosts & zombies!" view of cemeteries and people who consider it respectful to visit with your dead relatives and keep their graves tended...
That's wonderful!!!
1800s lifestyle has always fascinated me. It was such a wild century

I wish cemeteries were still as beautiful as they used to be. I would picnic in a cemetery.
To be honest i find it endearing how much time and effort the victorians put into being with and remembering their dead loved ones.
I always recall my, long deceased dad's joke. A couple's two dogs passed soon after each. Being devistated they wished to retain the physical reminder of their beloved dogs... So took them to a taxidermist. The taxidermist asked them, do you wish to have them stuffed and mounted? Their response.. Just holding hands will be fine 😂😂😂

So true HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA I don't remember celebrating Halloween wearing costumes in the Philippines. Instead we start visiting cementeries mid October.
This isn’t about Mexicans or Filipinos
Don't they also dig up the dead, dress them in some new clothes and party with the corpses?
Pretty sure that's unsanitary... And insane.
@@thenifell I think that's a tribe from Indonesia who did that.
"Back in the Bidenian Era, people sat around watching videos on the Internet, which was something people used to connect to each other before NeuroLink"
People when not working 6 days a week, drank, practiced music, did personal chores like cooking and laundry (with a washboard), went to church on that one day off.
Opium used to be a thing back then as well.
@@mikitz Still is. It's even synthesized in a lot of pharmaceuticals (albeit in often far less addictive and harmful ways).

@@ddrew1973 Back in the 1800s, Opium and Cocaine were considered very prestigious and pleasant experiences, few realized the dangers. Even Queen Victoria herself greatly enjoyed opium-spiked alcohol, she said it gave her a wonderful energetic feeling. I'm just wondering what happened at the dinner parties, were people getting sky high and laughing like maniacs till they passed out? Kinda scary.
Don't forget the green dye in their clothing was toxic.
Me: "man I wish I lived in the Victorian era"
Weird History: "no the fuck you don't kiddo"

Edwardian Era was better.
The past was the worst.
I picnicked at a cemetery in Portland, Oregon all the time when I lived there,and it was gorgeous! I loved it!

I am curious of the history of nail care. What people groomed with before nail clippers.
Could be part of a ancient grooming episode.
Teeth
I’ve seen some pretty ancient nail files...glass ones too ✨
Right. Did they all have hard clawlike nails or 🤔
Pocket knife
scissors
The Victorians were such fascinating people. I love learning more about this era.
ah yes... death is such a good fad and source of entertainment for humans
Taking photos of the dead may seem rather grotesque, but it had a beautiful meaning. Not a lot of families had family photos and they wanted to remember their child or loved ones the way they were. I have some photos of my ancestors in such poses and I always wondered what they would've been as adults.
My only nit pick or curiosity abut them is how did the parents remain composed through that? My own mother would have gone to the deepest end of mentality.
Whenever I hear about people of days gone by who were into odd or stage things, it makes them more real to me. It is also why I appreciate the original Twilight Zone episodes.
The idea of them being fanciful really fleshes them out for me.
I hang out in cemeteries all the time, which is weird because I used to be TERRIFIED of them. Now I see them as peaceful places to go for a walk and bird watch. If I have a little extra cash, I'll stop at a dollar store and pick up some small toys, plastic flowers, or flower seeds and bring them with me. I leave the flowers or scatter the seeds on Graves that are too old to realistically have anyone coming to visit them anymore, and I'll leave the toys on kids' graves.
My mother took us picnicking in cemeteries in the 1980’s. Guess she was a hundred year’s behind the times. And I thought her dancing to the “tootsie roll “ song in traffic was the most out of date thing she did. I still love 💕 my crazy sweet lady mam!♥️
Makes me wonder what was going on in the churches during the Victorian era that they focused so much on their dead.
Fire and brimstone preaching.
This is going to be a long read, but I think they focused so much on death due to the fact that the mortality rates were high, even for the upper classes. Consider that a lot of the things they used in their everyday were toxic, the water was polluted to the point where it was safer to drink beer than water, cholera was kinda common, they smoked a lot and sometimes consumed drugs and other substances that we now know are dangerous like they were candies, people −usually women, due to the dresses they wore− were prone of suffering serious accidents (such as falling down the usually long stairs at home). Even the bread was unsafe to eat sometimes, not to mention that freezers didn't exist until the late 19th century, so food was prone to go bad quite easily. Medicine was also nowhere near to where it is nowadays and surgeries plenty of times ended in tragedy as hygiene literally did not exist within the context of a surgery (the surgeons −some of which were actually barbers− would never wash their hands, neither the ever washed their bloodied aprons, for example), there were no anesthetics (you got chloroform used on you if you were lucky), hot irons were used to stop profuse bleedings, and limbs −arms, legs− were usually amputated if you happened to break them, so the chances of getting an (at the time) incurable infection in any of these instances were pretty high, which is also one of the reasons many women died during childbirth or due to childbirth complications.
Not to mention that the poor had it even worse, as malnutrition and starvation (plus long work days in sometimes extremely horrible work conditions, and this includes child labor) were common. So, literally, they were surrounded by death everyday, hence why they focused so much on it and were even fascinated with it to some extent.
@@speedwagoncito Very true. But, I was wondering what was going on in the church, that is supposed to be preaching life and not death. Guess it depended some on which denomination.
@@julienielsen3746 It could be, but it's probably because death itself plays a big part in the church's beliefs, since catholicism (the main religion in England at the time) believes in the afterlife, which is basically eternal life. To gain access to it, one must die first, so it kinda ties to the whole obsession with death, I'm guessing. Death itself is not precisely seen as something bad by this religion or by religions with similar beliefs on this regard, as it is part of the process and a step that's necessary to transcend to the afterlife and be in God's presence. Not sure if that might answer your question?
@@speedwagoncito If they believed in the Bible which is God’s Word, it speaks of life which is of God and not death which is of satan. Giving into satan and focusing on death instead of life would not be what God’s Word tells us. It wouldn’t be on focusing on death, but to live thorough Jesus in this life, and when we leave this earth. Not to focus on death or going to Heaven while in this life.
My grandmother started doing this every year when her husband passed. This was the 1960's-70's. They stopped when her youngest had grown up. No one else wanted to picnic at a cemetery.

An undiscovered forest,
Stretching for several leagues

Considering they were being poisoned by their own clothing and wallpaper, it's no surprise death was all around them.

There’s a cemetery in Buffalo called Forest Lawn. And it’s beautiful! It has many famous people buried there from past and present. Like President Fillmore and Rick James. Actually even a Prince and Princess are there too. Anywho, it looks the way it does because people would picnic there in the Victorian Era. But people in Buffalo still love it so much that there are trolley reenactment tours, walking reenactment tours, a gift shop, and regular visitors during the summer months.
Victorian only refers to Britain not to the USA. We have our own names for historical periods. We have antebellum, reconstruction, gilded age etc etc etc
This is an awesome subject to share! Please do more covering more era's to share how life as we know it has changed. It changes pretty drastically every 10 to 20 years.

So, not only were the Victorians the OG goths and emos, but also they were the OG instagramers and tiktokers.
Edit: Also, are we going to ignore that we have taken the Victorian language of flowers and created this era's language of emojis? (I am still trying to figure out which heart color means what 😂💙)
That's the reason why, Goths today have a Victorian Goth type.
Speaking of the thumbnail..... the best best best seance scene in ANY period drama/horror etc..... is the one in penny dreadful
UA-cam “Seance penny dreadful” its incredible. (Also I think it’s set in the Victorian era)

The Victorians were something else.
Victorians also had the strange and slightly disturbing habit of taking family photos with the corpses of their recently deceased relatives.

And I LOVE Victorian flower messages and meanings.
There’s a cemetery in my hometown that’s got flowers, a duck pond and a walking path that families usually walk around with kids, not everyone sees cemeteries as creepy, I actually played hide and go seek behind gravestones when my family went to visit relatives’ graves and the Frankfort Cemetery actually has a beautiful view of the holler the capital is in
Soft background music with a sarcastic narrator 👍🏼👌💯😍
The funny thing is that to this day from growing up with it, my mom and I have picnics in cemeteries. It's so incredibly peaceful.
I love the Victorian era! Please put out anything and everything you can from it 😍😍😍😍
They always spent time in the factory. Working on the factory, sleeping in the factory, playing in the factory, screwing in the factory, everything!

Interesting times.
I always enjoy hear about the past and the everyday things we take for granted . My favorite time in history was the reason 20's .There was so much going on . I also love to hear stories about the Titanic and the Bordon family . That was pretty crazy 😧
ok the scrapbooking seaweed thing and the microscopic art is ridiculously cool to me as an artsy person lol. We need to bring the microscopic art thing back like right now that was cool as hell!
Just wanted to let you know that this channel is amazing. You put your videos together so, so well! Editing is spot on, so are the jokes and you have a lovely narrative voice!
I literally thought about this topic A LOT. I wouldn’t mind watching this about every era there is
They felt the death of loved ones just as much as we do, I think many of the methods they used to preserve the memory of loves ones were quite touching.
Weird History is my favorite channel! Thank you
Having a picnic in the cemetery is our tradition here in the philippines every November 1st and 2nd. It's common here

So a couple of thoughts here. I know they may sound antiquated now, but I do so enjoy some of these still!
In Southern California we are blessed with a chain of cemeteries that have beautiful sprawling landscapes that are perfect for picnicking or enjoying a day walking the grounds. Forest Lawn is such an icon!
I also really love taxidermy style. At the Los Angeles natural history Museum there’s a beautiful display of antique taxidermy wildlife. The Los Angeles zoo is also fun to see.
And speaking of taxidermy and entertainment, an early stop motion film was created using dead bugs in anthropomorphic scenarios.
And who doesn’t like a good séance? How else am I supposed to communicate with my favorite celebrity? They dead.
Since I have been watching weird history videos now I love it! I am 45. I can understand history can be boring for some kids and teens. But if we had weird history back in 80-90s it would been vest way of learning. If I was a teacher especially middle school and high school I would have this in classroom. Cause it keeps your interest. Thank you so much weird history

Here in the Philippines photographs with the dead (and now videos on social media) were popular and called “Recuerdos de Patáy” (Spanish “Souvenirs of” + Tagalog “Dead”).
I recall scanning old family albums dating to around the mid-20th century or earlier. Many of the sepia or black-and-white photos showed distant relations posing around a coffin prior to burial. The other reason for this was that funerals were, and still are, one of the rare occasions the entire clan is supposed to attend.
Sending someone flowers to warn of impending danger sounds like something only a person about to deliver impending danger would do.
My favorite time period (beside the tudor times)

I love your channel, I think you guys are brilliant🙏🇨🇦
Speaking of mourning photography, I've seen a recent example of that. Idk wanna say the latest it was I would say 06, or 07. This couple had one of those folding room dividers that had places for pics. They had at least 10 shot of their little baby that had passed away. I didn't know that when I got there and after my acquaintance left the room, I was promptly filled in on it before I made a grave social error, cuz something didn't look right in those pics and I felt that for good reason. Creepy
It would be great if you could cover the prohibition era in America!
Idk if they still do it but at least in the 90s if there's a stillborn they'll ask the mother if they wanted to dress the child up and take a picture. They asked my mom that's how I knew but she was shocked and declined
They still do it, at least in Canada.
I love the Victorian scrapbooks and cemetery picnic’s.
I feel like you narrated the Tex Avery 's cartoons. You can not tell me otherwise.
Truly fascinating. ❤
