Victorian/Edwardian mix up

[madamemodiste]

I was just watching Oprah, and they were touring the American Girl offices. The Sr. Vice President of Marketing said, "And here's our Victorian girl, Samantha. She's from 1904...". Victorian? 1904? *sigh* Isn't the American Girl thing all about learning history in a 'fun' way? How is it that the Sr. Vice President of Marketing of a product sold to teach history DOESN'T know when the Victorian Era ended?

*rolls eyes*

So did she look Victorian, or Art Nouveau?

I... I have that doll. I love that doll. But that doesn't make people less stupid.
