Authored by the hugely popular ‘Hot Victorians’ Instagram account, this book is a brazen celebration of the finest men from the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
From a show-off strongman, a hot felon and a daguerreotype dandy to a Swedish sailor and Harvard’s first Black graduate, there is a chap for everyone.
Divided into chapters such as Hot Dads, Original Hipsters, Jocks and Sexy Nerds, each entry includes a swoon-worthy picture and a dating profile about the man.
Among them, meet our cover star Arthur Shidler, dishy doctor and family man from Illinois, or how about the physician responsible for the identification of the bubonic plague parasite – is it really justified that such an ugly bacteria is named after a man so beautiful!?
Each entry also includes a hilarious response to one of the prompts you might find on the dating apps, bringing these gents right into the 21st century.
Although they may be dead, for these 70+ perfect gents, chivalry is far from it.
