This fashion plate is from La Nouvelle Mode, a weekly fashion journal published in Paris. Dated 1909, the plate is one in a collection of plates from the journal, compiled in a book entitled 'Book of Fashion Plates from La Nouvelle Mode: Fashions 1908-1911'.
The plate is numbered 16 and is signed by the artist 'Drian' who also produced many plates for the French publication 'Gazette du Bon Ton'. The plate illustrates a fancy dress outfit called 'Egyptian scarab'.
A scarab is an ancient Egyptian amulet in the form of a dung beetle, symbolic of regeneration. As time went on, scarabs developed into use as personal seals.
