THE VICTORIAN PEEPER

By Appointment to H M the Queen-Empress -- Purveyor of Communiqués Digital and Historical (est. 2007)

About the Title of This Blog

"Peeper" is Victorian slang for "mirror," although its modern meaning of "voyeur" is also appropriate here, in the sense that I sometimes feel as if I'm spying on the Victorians.
