Handwritten quote by Oscar Wilde in a pub in Co. Clare, Ireland

A group of young Victorian ladies dressed and posing in the Aesthetic style, which appears to amusing Granny considerably. The Aesthetic Movement was popular towards the end of the 19th century and was epitomised by luminaries such as William Morris and Oscar Wilde. The young man reading on the left of the illustration is obviously a follower of Wilde’s style - in fact, it could even be Oscar Wilde! Female Aesthetic dress, being looser and unstructured, was a protest against the wearing of bustles and corsets, and was popular with artistic and literary people.
