This hand-coloured fashion plate is from Le Journal des Dames et des Modes, a ladies' magazine published in Paris from 1797 until 1839. The plate dates from 1836 and illustrates two gentlemen dressed for a court ball from a series entitled, 'Costume Parisien'.

The outfits are embroidered in gold and silver and lined with satin. The plate was designed by Louis-Marie Lanté.
