    I got in a whole hour of car booty before the monsoon set in. Sausage and chips consumed in the car.

    I really ought not to buy more brooches, unless I sell some, but these beseeched me not to leave them in the wet. The goldtone one is really well made, it ought to be a good maker, but who knows! Grapes are glass too.

    Super yummy. And I think the matching stone/glass bits on the leaf are a very nice touch.

    They're both beauties, but the grapes are amazing!

    I love the fact that the grapes one even has tendrils. Appeals to my botanical soul, that.

    @Any Jewelry - who do you reckon the female is on the Victorian one? I ought to know and its annoying me. Austro Hungary?

    Austria would make sense. I've seen that complex back construction on brooches from there.

    Not quite sure it's Mary, the face is a tad fat, but it's a thought.

    I think that brooch is German Historismus, Historic Revival. I feel I should know her too, but my mind is blank.

    Those grapes are amazing, gorgeous. They look edible.:D

    She looks like one of the French queens but I'm not brushed up on my history enough to know if her attire matches that guess.

    We are NOT liking Dr. Strabismus too much this weekend. He was not playing nice. Those Austrian grapes on the other hand would be welcome any time!

    Suspect I am out of my depth........Having read this and still have no clue......:bookworm::bag::dead:
    Historism (Italian: storicismo) is a philosophical and historiographical theory, founded in 19th-century[1] Germany (as Historismus) and especially influential in 19th- and 20th-century Europe. In those times there was not a single natural, humanitarian or philosophical science that would not reflect, in one way or another, the historical type of thought (cf. comparative historical linguistics etc.).[1] It pronounces the historicityof humanity and its binding to tradition.

    Historist historiography rejects historical teleology and bases its explanations of historical phenomena on sympathy and understanding (see Hermeneutics) for the events, acting persons, and historical periods. The historist approach takes to its extreme limits the common observation that human institutions (language, Art, religion, law, State) are subject to perpetual change.[2]

    Historism is not to be confused with historicism,[3] nevertheless the English habits of using both words are very similar. (The term historism is sometimes reserved to identify the specific current called Historismus in the tradition of German philosophy and historiography.)[2]

    Historismus is simply the German term for Historic Revival.
    Well known sub genres of Historic Revival are Gothic Revival, Classic Revival or Classicism, and Renaissance Revival. These were rarely stylistically pure, but a mix of styles, hence the more correct umbrella term Historic Revival.:)

    (I think I just added to the confusion.:wacky::sorry:)
