What is the 'Victorian Age' of comic books?

Mark Zaid (Owner of Esquire Comics) gives expert video advice on: Why do collectors refer to the specific era of a comic book?; What is the most sought after era of comic books? and more...

Collectors have established different age ranges for comics to sort of identify when they're from. These are ranges and categories that have no finite beginning or end that anyone will necessarily agree on, saying ones right or wrong. But historically we've looked upon the Victorian age as being the beginning, from whenever that is, of comic books, say the late 18th century to approximately the end of the 19th century. The late 1890s, or it could be 1880s, 1890s, into the beginning part of the 20s.
