Un Siècle de modes féminines, 1794-1894 : quatre cents toilettes reproduites en couleurs d'après des documents authentiques

1896 · Paris : G. Charpentier et E. Fasquelle · 34 pictures

A Paris fashion history published in 1896 by G. Charpentier and E. Fasquelle, compiled from authentic period sources to show women's dress across a century, from 1794 to 1894. The plates are hand-coloured and dated by year, and designers can use them as a reference for silhouettes, bonnets, shawls and skirt trims across successive decades.
