I notice the handrail is low/furniture is low/uniforms in the Museum are small/bed looks short were people shorter back then?

However, on average, individuals were approximately one inch shorter during the period compared to modern times. A more substantial trait was that individuals of the mid-1800’s weighed less than our modern generations.
