Lot Description

A hand-colored line engraving depicting 19th century French women's fashion - a fashion plate from a popular women's magazine. Depicted are front and back views of a model donning an elaborate coiffure by Mr. A. Normandin - Coiffeur de S.A.R. la princesse Marie (Passage Choiseul) - and a crepe gown by Madame Neutte l'Archer, rue Vivienne. No. 4. Custom double mat and gilded Chinoiserie frame adorned by a myriad of figures (royals, musicians, and more) and landscapes filled with pagodas and bridges, trees, mountainsides, and floral blossoms - under glass. Size: 7.75" L x 5" W (19.7 cm x 12.7 cm); 24" L x 21.5" W (61 cm x 54.6 cm) framed

19th century women’s magazines published fashion plates - wonderful illustrations of women’s clothing that were intended to guide the reader towards the latest styles. "The Lady’s Magazine and Museum" was born after two older ladies magazines entitled "The Lady’s Magazine" and "The Lady’s Monthly Museum" came together. Both of these early magazines began in England in the late 18th century; however, by the 1830s, recognizing that they faced great competition, the pair merged into one publication, continuing until 1847.
