The era in which Queen Victoria was the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom; this Era lasted from June 20, 1837 to January 22, 1901, when the Edwardian Era began after Queen Victoria's passing.

An obsolete variant of the letter s "Å¿" that is often confused with an f (it also resembles â«, a calculus symbol); It fell out of favour in the early 19th-Century for this very reason, as printers found that it was more practical to use a variant of s that would not be confused with f.
