Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. The plate illustrates day wear and dates from 1871. It is signed, 'Huard' and 'Héloïse Leloir'. The scene is set in a church with one woman donating an offering to another. The seated woman is wearing a black velvet dress trimmed with chinchilla fur. She is holding a small muff - a cylindrical covering of fur into which the hands are placed for warmth. Héloïse Leloir was born in 1820 and was the eldest daughter of Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875), a painter and lithographer. Along with her two sisters, Adèle Anaïs and Laure, she was responsible for many of the best fashion plates of the mid-nineteenth century.
