Episode Synopsis

Then there is the period in which it was built, during the reign of Great Britain's Queen Victoria. During her period in history, ladies would be wearing wide skirts with crinolines to support their skirt structure. These were popular with Queen Victoria and consequently became a main fashion item.Ladies wearing this kind of skirt could not get into a carriage with normal door and step arrangements. Their skirts were too wide.So the “Victoria” Carriage arrived with its wide sweeping rear mudguards and plenty of room for those wide skirts. It was as simple as that, the carriage was developed to cope with the high fashion of the period. It was primarily a ladies' carriage.Thank you for listening to our Buzzsprout audio stories.You can follow many of these with added film and photographs as videos and slide showson our YouTube Channel at "cracker books on youtube".WEB SITE CHANGE: New Web site at www.crackerbooks.frAt the same time, Cracker Books have produced 10 complete page turninge-books on their own Site.All the books are free to download to any device.Have a look at our bookcase and view all the book details. http://online.flipbuilder.com/crackerbooks/ Finally for lots of further information about what we publish and why have a look at our website at www.crackerbooks.fr
