This is a fun, beautiful book of photography! I definitely recommend it - especially for ladies and laddies who love beards!

This was honestly such a fun little book! If you've ever followed any of the #historicalhotties on social media, you'll love it.

The author chose all sorts of handsome Victorian men and portrayed them in fun dating app style ways. While we may not know much about some of these gentlemen, we now know which ones would have been your ride or die, would have walked into the sunset with you, or would have cooked you a five course meal - all thanks to the clever (and saucy) commentary from the author.

The men come from a range of countries and ethnicities, which was very welcome. I'll admit I was expecting them all to be dead white guys. And there are quite a few for whom we actually know a little about them. You learn about some accomplishments that literally changed the world and mourn some who died far too young.

Funny, sweet and surprisingly poignant.

Loved this!
