Fashion plate, from Le Petit Courrier des Dames
This hand-coloured fashion plate is from Le Petit Courrier des Dames, a weekly fashion magazine published in Paris. The plate is one in a series entitled, 'Modes de Paris' and illustrates women's wear. Dated 20 December 1856, the plate is signed, 'Hopwood et Carrache'.
The two women are shown wearing fur mantles - loose cloaks or capes. The woman on the right is carrying a muff - a cylindrical covering of fur into which the hands are placed for warmth.
Carrache was also one of the chief engravers of the plates produced for Les Modes Parisiennes, another Paris fashion magazine, published from 1843 to 1875. Le Petit Courrier des Dames was in publication from 1822 until around 1865.
