19th Century American Male

The Lively Arts History Association (LAHA) put together a site called “The Gentleman’s Page: A Practical Guide for the 19th Century American Man.” Its web address is http://www.lahacal.org/gentleman/. The LAHA is a California organization formed to help facilitate better understanding of history looking through the eyes of the performing arts. So while it could be particularly helpful to actors, artists and musicians whose work includes 19th-Century themes, it is also likely to be of students of history whose mission is to truly understand life during that time.

The site is divided into three primary sections: behavior, attire, and resources. The home page gives an interesting and user-friendly glimpse into the rest of site, without being too glitzy or hard to follow. The top of the page has a clear indication of the site’s title and purpose, the left column has easily recognizable tabs that guide the user through the section. The guts of the home page include high-quality photos that are good examples of men from the era.

The lead quote on this site is from Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and describes the novel’s character, Colonel Grangerford: “His hands


One benefit to me this site offered is the potential for help with my work in researching genealogy. For example, the attire section discussed the different types of coats a gentleman would have – business, frock, and dress-coat – and which occupations and classes might have each. Information like this may offer me additional insight into old family photos I have – which until now the clothing worn for me had almost no clues about the people in them.

“The Gentleman’s Page: A Practical Guide for the 19th Century American Man” offers a comprehensive, practical, and at times scholarly look at people from an era long past. The site is visually appealing, not too busy, and offers interesting glimpses of the era, and often putting these images and mores into a historical context of important cultural and political events.

Again, this quotation demonstrates how different the social expectations were (which appear to be numerous and complicated), and the site’s commitment to providing an easily-to-read and navigate site that does not lose the viewer’s interest.
