so, this movie is supposed to take place in 1910? so that's the end of the Edwardian era, that post-Victorian intermezzo prior to the WW1.
i've been kinda obsessed with this period, right up to 1939. 1925 was fucking wild, by the way.
anyways, 1910 and the Edwardian era are, for all intents and purposes, the official end of Queen Victoria's reign of conservative terror; and marks the beginning of the end of the House of Hapsburg.
it's fascinating.
