An original piece of late 19th-century Paris fashion history, this beautifully preserved fashion plate was published in Journal des Demoiselles on October 1, 1895.
The composition presents five illustrations of fashionable women's hats and hairstyles, rendered in finely detailed black linework with delicate pale blue-green coloring. Elaborate bows, feathers, flowers and ribbons capture the extravagant millinery fashionable during the final years of the Victorian era.
Printed beneath the illustrations are the publication title, Journal des Demoiselles, the date 1er Octobre 1895, issue number 5062 and Paris fashion and retail references, including 14 Rue Drouot. The original publication is documented in museum collections devoted to historic fashion and graphic arts. Wikimedia Commons
The plate is presented under glass in a simple gilt-finish frame with naturally aged surface wear. A Portuguese framer's label remains on the reverse.
A beautiful original for a gallery wall, dressing room or collection of antique fashion, French ephemera and 19th-century prints.
