In the news1895

Electric trams introduced (1895)

On 9 December 1895, the first electric tramway was introduced in Bucharest, modernizing urban public transportation.

Getting around

Warning the public of trains

Early railway operations were so unfamiliar that a rider on horseback was sometimes sent ahead of the train blowing a horn to warn people and animals to stay clear of the tracks.

At the table

Meat was reserved for special holidays

Even in households that raised animals, meat like ox or buffalo pastrami was rarely eaten, usually reserved only for major Christian holidays. Eggs, butter, and poultry were frequently sold to bring money into the home rather than being consumed by the family.

What people wore

Traditional peasant men's clothing

Peasant men typically wore white blouses embroidered in red, white felt breeches, and high boots. For extra warmth, they added a sheepskin cloak worn with the wool inside and the white leather outside, which was often richly embroidered.

Music

Musical instruments of the period

Common instruments used by musicians included the violin (geige/ceteră), the cymbal (cimbalum/dobă), the bass, and the simple flute (lluer), while the guitar (zongoră) was specifically popular in Maramureș.

Daily life

Schooling became compulsory for kids

An 1864 act endowed Romania with free and compulsory elementary education, and later described as compelling families to send children to primary school. Education methods could be harsh and parents often avoided schooling when the benefit was unclear.
