Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. Dating from 1873, the plate illustrates outdoor day wear for two women and a young girl. It is signed, 'Héloïse Leloir'. The girl wears a fur-trimmed coat and a bonnet trimmed with flowers. The women's hats are worn perched high on the head and are decorated with flowers, lace and ribbons. 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.
