Gentleman's Page: A Practical Guide for the 19th Century American Man

Unsure if one might don a colorful shirt or black pants with their black frock coat? (One should most certainly not.) Unclear on the finer points of calling card usage? Look no further than this fun and informative site. Designed and written by Walter Nelson and maintained by the Lively Arts History Association, the Gentleman's Page offers a glimpse into the ideals of dress and behavior for middle- and upper-class American men in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Constructed primarily from photos and quotes from period sources, the site explores the differences in men's wear, ballroom etiquette, table manners, greetings, behavior in the presence of ladies, and other topics.
