Histoire des modes françaises, ou, Révolutions du costume en France : depuis l'établissement de la monarchie jusqu'à nos jours : contenant tout ce qui concerne la tête des français, avec des recherches sur l'usage des chevelures artificielles chez les anciens
Histoire des modes françaises is a 1773 French costume history by Guillaume François Roger Molé, published in Amsterdam and sold at Paris by the bookseller Costard, written for readers interested in fashion and hairstyles from the monarchy onward. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut vignettes: a rural landscape with trees, houses and water in a ruled frame, a dark ornamental floral spray, and a marbled endpaper. A designer might take from them the scale of a tailpiece vignette and the rhythm of a symmetrical ornament.
