Only five years before the start of World War One, magazines such as: Modern Man – A Weekly Journal of Masculine Interest, offered the man about town advice on how to conduct himself in all manner of possible situations. In this collection of articles and stories from the year 1909, immerse yourself in the language and priorities of the time including: The simple, vigorous delights of country life, Etiquette: Card-table manners, Trespassing: A forbidden country sport, Getting sunburnt: A painless form of tanning, and much more!
With features on business and the ‘outer man’, 1909 Man offers a fascinating, and sometimes amusing look at what life was like in 1909 England – at least for those of a certain station!
