Fashion plate, from The Queen

This hand-coloured fashion plate is from The Queen, a monthly magazine published in London. The plate illustrates five evening dresses and dates from between 1888 and 1898. The plate is signed, 'Sandoz.'

The pink and blue dress in the foreground is typical of the fashion of the time. It includes a large exaggerated bustle which tends to arch up and out from the back.

Adolf Karl Sandoz was a Ukrainian artist who contributed plates to The Queen from 1888 to 1898. His plates are among the best produced in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. After 1898, The Queen introduced colour printed plates.
