Overly Flirtatious Fans

In this episode, we’re decoding the hidden messages that the Victorians sent one another - with practically any accessory that was accessible! Clara and Sabrina delve into the secret signals hidden in the flutter of a fan, the delicate touch of a glove, and the subtle tilt of a parasol. Through newspapers from the early 1800s, we try to make sense of the nuances in gestures and symbols that spoke volumes in an era where discretion was paramount. But were these codes really as prevalent as some articles would lead you to believe? Listen to find out!
