(PRWEB) March 14, 2006 -- Victoriana.Com, a site dedicated to the Victorian era, celebrates 10 years online with the unveiling of Victoriana Magazine, a free online magazine for Victorian enthusiasts. It is a vibrant and inspiring publication that cuts through the complexities of modern life to illustrate what was beautiful in the past.
Victoriana Magazine transforms the internet into an online time-machine focusing on the decorative arts and lifestyles of the Victorian era (1837-1901) with articles from both current experts and Victorian era publications. This free online magazine provides ideas, inspiration and information on Victorian fashion, decorating, remodeling, entertaining, holidays, history and more. Each illustrated issue contains a special crafts section, children’s corner, shopper's guide, plus the latest museum exhibits.
According to Editor Joanne Haug, “No other online magazine provides such a fresh and colorful approach to a subject well over a century old. Victoriana Magazine captures the pleasures and traditions of an earlier period and transforms them to be relevant to today’s living.”
The premiere issue of Victoriana Magazine provides an intimate look at the excitement and glitz of entertaining in the Victorian era, focusing on who wore what to a New York society ball as well as themed parties for both children and adults. Other articles explore Victorian bathrooms and bathrobes for the rich and famous; remodeling with ornate tin ceilings, and pictures of children’s nursery dishes.
