Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. Dated 1879, the plate illustrates examples of five women's hairstyles for evening wear. It is signed, 'Anaïs Toudouze'. The women are shown seated in a theatre box, with only the upper part of their bodies visible, thus accentuating the hairstyles. The hair is arranged with loops, curls or chignons (knots or coils of hair worn at the back of the neck) Adèle Anaïs Toudouze was the second daughter of Alexandre-Marie Colin (1798-1875), a painter and lithographer. Along with her sisters, Héloïse and Laure, she was responsible for some of the most charming fashion plates of the mid-nineteenth century.
