Fashion plate, from The Lady's MagazineThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from The Lady's Magazine, a London publication in circulation from 1770 to 1837. Dating from 1817, the plate illustrates a walking dress. The spelling of 'Dress' at the foot of this plate still includes the long 'S'. John Bell, the founder of a rival magazine called La Belle Assembleé, is said to have been the first publisher to discard the long 'S'. The Lady's Magazine was the first English magazine to import French plates, doing so some time after 1785. The French text was altered to include the title, 'The Lady's Magazine' and a brief description of the outfit was added in English.
