Godey's Lady's Book May 1864

Louis A. Godey, Sarah Josepha Hale · 1864 · 14 pictures

Godey's Lady's Book, May 1864, a monthly American women's fashion and literary magazine edited by Sarah Josepha Hale and published by Louis A. Godey in Philadelphia for middle-class women readers. The four pictures are wood-engraved fashion plates: a full-skirted walking dress with tiered mantle, a hooded cloak in dark hatched shading, a plaid cape over a gathered bonnet, and a profile of an upswept hairstyle with flowers and feathers. Designers can take from them the crisp hatching, flat tonal fills and the layered silhouettes typical of 1860s costume.
