John Thomas Grant, show creator and co-producer, along with Lisa Griffiths (aka Victoriana Lady) wanted to bring Victoriana Lady's Traveling Museum Programs to the public via TV. Cape Ann TV, north of Boston, loved the concept and gave Grant and Griffiths creative freedom to develop the show, which began filming in November of 2013.
Each episode visits a different topic based on the Victorian era, The Edwardian era, and also Steampunk, which are closely related. The Edwardians were a branch off of Queen Victoria's tree and many of the fashions and manners will still in use.
Steampunk, where the Victorian era meets the future, is based on the era of steam travel. It encompasses literature, art, design, fashion, and music just to name a few. Victoriana Lady Lisa has a hardcover book entitled, International Steampunk Fashions, by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. and has just filmed an episode on a fantastic Steampunk exhibition curated by Bruce Rosenbaum of ModVic Designs.
You can watch the episodes at Youtube.com under All Things Victorian 1623 Studios.

It is now easier than ever to find seasons of shows that were produced 30 or 40 years ago, right alongside the DVDs of the television shows that are currently on the air.
