Modern buttons and relics of fashion through history
In comparative times vestments of buttons arose in ancient Greece and Rome. The article notes the late 19th century spread of gilt buttons after George II and remarks on the wide variety of materials used, including improbable items like potatoes. It recounts anecdotes about a Sunday school superintendent and a boy's engine exercise, and mentions royal incomes in Europe, with figures for Russia Austria Germany and Turkey. Also includes advertisements for Castor oils and Pink Pills for Pale People, and a long, jumbled miscellany of notes and testimonials.
