The Ocean Beach Historical Society presents: Romantic Victorians: Dating, Marriage, and Love.
Join lecturers Sandee Wilhoit, Gaslamp Quarter Histocial Foundation Historian, and Jamie Laird, GQHF volunteer, to delve into the intricate customs and traditions surrounding dating, marriage, and love in the Victorian Era.
Become versed in the strict courting rules, elaborate Victorian flirting techniques like the “Language of the Fan,” and all that was expected when both parties finally said, “I do.”
Learn about Romanticism- a movement that gained momentum in the late 1800s- which emphasized inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual and how it not only influenced Art and Literature but also ideas and romantic notions of the Victorian era.
Join us and feel free to dress in Victorian Valentine Style. All OBHS Programs are FREE!
