Summary/Abstract: This essay explores the visual and material culture of late Victorian society, with investigation of the contemporary movement away from the artificial and towards the natural implied in the design of the Pre-Raphaelite un-corseted dress. This is dealt with in the context of artistic appreciation of changing gender roles in the emerging modern period.
