How do interactions with antique objects influence perceptions of the modern world? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From Victorian beauty regimes to nineteenth-century bicycles, custard recipes to taxidermy experiments, oil lamps to an ice box, Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman decided to explore nineteenth-century culture and technologies from the inside out. Even the deepest aspects of their lives became affected, and the more immersed they became in the late Victorian era, the more aware they grew of its legacies permeating the twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most of us have dreamed of time travel, but what if that dream could come true? Certain universal constants remain steady for all people regardless of time or place. No matter where, when, or who we are, humans share similar passions and fears, joys and triumphs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In her first book, \u003ci\u003eVictorian Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e, Chrisman recalled the first year she spent wearing a Victorian corset 24\/7.
