Fashion plate, from The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine

Add to album

This hand-coloured fashion plate is from The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine, a ladies' magazine published in London from 1852 until 1877. Dating from 1865, the plate illustrates two women in day dresses and bonnets. It is signed 'Jules David' and 'Réville'.

The dresses reflect the fashion for enormous skirts. During the decade from 1860 to 1870, skirts increased to their fullest circumference. In fact, they reached the maximum width that was decent and comfortable to wear, even with the aid of a hoop.

From 1852 until 1860 the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine did not include colour fashion plates and relied on occasional black and white drawings to portray the latest French fashions. After 1860, colour plates were imported from Paris.
