Hobbies are important, especially after a long work week filled with bothersome bosses and tedious tasks. Some time to unwind and enjoy life's simpler things is paramount to inner peace, whether your personal pastime of choice comprises picking up a good book, tossing around the old pigskin, or simply getting together with the gang to enjoy a drink over some engaging conversation.

While taking part in popular hobbies can be perfectly pleasurable, some of us like to dabble in stranger leisures — a practice that wasn't lost on previous generations. You know the old adage: Work hard, play hard — and, arguably, nobody played harder than those wacky Victorians. So clear off that taxidermy table and start prepping the séance spread, because we're diving deep into hobbies from the Victorian era that seem bizarre today.
