This is her.
And she’s not even in mourning in this image, she’s wearing a shawl and veil and ribbons just because.
So she always wore these gauzy outfits making her look like some ethereal ghost, her clique of other spooky ladies followed her around town and they held seances and read their own spooky poetry together.
This woman was Victorian Goth-Goth. She was exemplifying the Victorian Goth style in the actual Victorian era, some accounts even say she wore feathers and beads and was more or less the Stevie Nicks of her day. She kept a mini-coffin that opened and shut like a locket around her neck at all times and never told anyone why.
She also dated Edgar Allan Poe, who was a couple years younger than her, more or less as a token spooky boyfriend to go with her spooky life style.
So yes. Sarah Helen Whitman is more goth than all of us.
This made it back to my dash.
I will always reblog this when it pops up.
