Fashion plate, from La Mode Illustreé

Add to album

This hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. Dating from 1882, the plate illustrates women's outdoor day wear. It is signed, 'Huard' and 'Anaïs Toudouze'.

The lady on the left is wearing a fur jacket with matching, feather-trimmed, hat. Both outfits have slight bustles, but no trains. In 1881, sweeping trains for street wear went out of fashion for a few years.

Adèle Anaïs Toudouze (1822-99), was the second daughter of Alexandre-Marie Colin, a painter and lithographer. She married Auguste Toudouze in 1845 and most of her plates are signed with her married name.
