I had no idea that busks had once been used as courting gifts. That's my new bit of knowledge for the day.

This was a really interesting video, I wouldn't have guessed half of these. Thank you for putting it all together in an easy to understand way C:

The imagery of the house with two paired hearts on the busk is so precious, it gives me the vibe of a heartfelt commitment to domestic bliss 💖

Now I am just imagining the awkwardness of a male suitor handing a young woman the 18th century equivalent of sexy lingerie while her grandma watches (because someone has to chaperone a respectable young lady).

I had never really thought about the history but it’s very fascinating. Definitely explains a lot about how things are done today.
