For today’s Fun for Friday, I thought I’d go with an old photo–this one is from 1895, and features a seated man and a standing woman, both dressed in the fashions of that time. The woman appears to have a book in her hand … wonder what it’s about?

While this couple most clearly fits into a steampunk setting, it could be fun to see what other directions you could take it. Maybe a sci-fi setting where people dress in old-timey clothing for some sort of special event? Or maybe it’s just simply historical fantasy, just one step removed from reality! Have fun!
