Fashion plate, from La Mode IllustreéThis hand-coloured fashion plate is from La Mode Illustreé, a fashion magazine published in Paris. Dating from 1877, the plate illustrates two day dresses with trains. It is signed, 'Bonnard' and 'Anaïs Toudouze'. The outfits reflect the fashion at this time for solid, stiff textiles. Instead of soft flounces, there were knife pleats. Bows and sashes had a deliberately flattened appearance. Interest in the back of dresses persisted and trains emphasized this trend. 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. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
