took an hour to make this list that includes the age, ethnicity (of some) and fit credit. I will continue edit it to add the period dramas/ credits that I found specifically from the 1800s to early to mid 1900s. pls check the heritage of these face claims just in case I’m wrong. but feel free to use! look forward to seeing them in your stories.
