Summary: Oh, how we do miss the days of Dickens and Browning, the yesteryears of Whitman and Twain. Those were the good ole days, the century of political upheaval, the age of gilded morality, the epoch of crooked politicians, the end of serfdom, and the rise of capitalism and Nation States. That's right, we all miss the wonderful, the glorious, the 19th century. But alas, that is a time that has passed, eroded by the inevitable passing of Father Time. The Industrial age has progressed into the post-Industrial Age, and Victorian morality had undergone a transvaluation of values. O bard, sound forth your barbaric yawp over all the world, the 19th century is dead. But never fear, with every death comes new life. The death of the nineteenth century means the birth of great holiday antiques!
