Crinolines, crinolettes, bustles and corsets from 1860-80. From 1866 the crinoline craze began to subside.
In this year the magazine Le Follet announced: 'The size of the crinoline is very sensibly diminished, but it cannot be altogether dispensed with while the dresses are so very long'. This helps account for the small size of many crinolines in the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection, for example the red Thomson's crinoline of 1867. Punch, not to miss an opportunity for humour, anticipated a new use for discarded crinolines - as plant protectors during the winter! They were fashionable between 1867 and the mid 1870s. They were often composed of half hoops with extra loops of steel at the top to give more support. Collections Portal. Introduction Exhibition Biographies Discussion Essay Acknowledgments.

Europe is a relatively small continent, especially compared to Asia or Africa, but during the last five hundred years European countries have controlled a huge part of the world, including almost all of Africa and the Americas.
The nature of this control varied, from the benign to the genocidal, and the reasons also differed, from country to country, from era to era, from simple greed to ideologies of racial and moral superiority such as The White Man's Burden.
