1849: The Story of: A Dress Engulfed in Flames | Short #47

News of the Times Short #47 | 1840
Burnt By Crinoline
This was a normal occurence for women with the large and cumbersome dresses that were the requirement.  So, in essence, the dresses of the day were a fire hazard to women!  A popular fabric used at the time was crinoline - often made out of a combination of horse hair and linen.

This story is an example of this common coccurence of its day.   
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Who are News of the Times?

Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time.  We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.  

We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint.  Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
