I will review this good article nomination.

Observations
I am generally happy with this well-written article, but there are two points I would like to clarify.

Fashion
Section 2.1, Last Paragraph. "By 1888, the area's fashionability was declining"... [Quote from The Woman's World]. Does that statement sound too strong on the basis of just one quote? I don't think the area's "decline" is mentioned anywhere else in the article. Is there any other proof that by 1888, the area's fashionability was declining? If not, see if the paragraph can be re-worded to inform the reader that the area's fashionability was declining just according to Miss M. Nicolle and The Woman's World, edited by Wilde. I just find the claim too strong otherwise.


 * Reworded to make the attribution clear. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:03, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Significance
Section 2.2, Last Paragraph. Can The Sporting and Dramatic News be wikilinked to Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News? Are they different things? Ian Fletcher in his book you cited called it "The Sporting and Dramatic News", but they sound too similar to be different.

 * Yes, they're surely the same. The word "Illustrated" is printed in much smaller type on the cover. Linked. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
