It's immensely difficult to search for anything Victorian on the web without running into Martha-Jane's Victorian Christmas Site and similar twee sanitised items. However, what I'm actually looking for at present are the typefaces used in Victorian and Edwardian publications, posters and catalogues, and the little flourishes that you see around the headers.
An elderly relative of mine used to do these in type, like this:
~oO Title Goes Here Oo~
... but even if that's kinda cool and retro, it's not going to cut it in design these days.
Anyone know where I could find graphics for these things? Even Dover-type books that I can scan will do the trick.
