something victorian

The other day, knautia reminded me of a book I bought but haven't read through yet. I have just discovered the book from the pile of the books, and here it is. (Two images are combined.)
Full of fine graphics from the Victorian magazines and newspapers, it is written by two Japanese academics (in Japanese, of course). Clearly written, it helps you a lot to get the picture of the Victorian "respected" society.
