The Victorian middle classes re-invented the concept of childhood.Taking their lead from the model created by Albert and Victoria they set out to create the “perfect family”. Besides  creating the modern christmas,  they also greatly altered the view of childrens’ clothing. This box sets out to help ilustrate the styles introduced for young wearers in the late 19th century.
