i love this! it's beautifully crafted and the music fits wonderfully :) How do you know the names of all the people in the photographs? I have a similar image to these ones and i'd love to know who it is. It a photograph taken by the french photographer 'Nadar'... I thought it was Cleo de Merode at first but the more i look at it the more i think it's not.... do you think you'd be able to help me????Thanks so much for this video. It's lovely :)

I wonder how did the womenfolk of those days think of these women (esp those who were dressed in pants)? Weren't they quite rigid regarding being " a lady?" Would love to get comments about this :-)
