They certainly knew how to dress back then. It was all so extravagant, wasn't it? I'd probably enjoy that, all the big capes, and riding horses as well would be a lot of fun.
That's if you're rich, of course. There was so much poverty, and that would be the downside of it all, that there was so much disease and plagues and people dying everywhere, and just real rank poverty. So that's probably what I would miss - the cleanliness that we have today. The things you just take for granted, that the water's safe and that you're not going to die by the time you're 30.
Would you have enjoyed living in the 1830s?
