Within the retro trends one of the most elegant and ornate is the Victorian, a true reflection of the gothic movement and the vision that prevailed during the nineteenth century with the reign of Victoria. Although it was an artistic trend that always sought its own nature, a well-defined and concrete basis, the truth is that its own philosophy turned into confusion and there was a very important eclectic component. If we stick to artistic manifestations in their most graphic aspect, we will see how there is a strong presence of illustration as a method of representation.
The tendency towards curved lines, arches and flourishes, as well as handwritten fonts and fine constructions are recurring features to encode a series of messages that speak of philosophical and metaphysical values alternated with scenes of daily life and that reflected the perfection the way of life of the society of the time. It is one of the variants that I like the most within the retro styles and that can serve very well to set the scene for historical, fictional or even informative constructions.
