Today I have the last of the fashion plate images from the publication
"Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises".
The information I have shows this French publication ran
from 1786-1789.
Fortunately I have examples from all of those years.
Several "Hat Fashions" from this publication can be seen - HERE
Fashion plates from 1786 can be seen HERE
Fashions from 1787 can be seen HERE
and now we finish off with plates from 1788 & 1789.

| 1788/89 French Couple by EKDuncan |
This digital scene was created using an Ackermann Repository background,
one of my
EKDuncan vintage frames and two vintage fashion plate
that I turned into PNG form.
I've included a variety of colorized fashions for the lady at the bottom of the post.
Enjoy!

A few things I enjoyed about the publication
"Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises"
were the extended fashion plates showing two or more figures together and that they included additional items of interest such as buckles, furniture and entire room decor on occasion.
Buckles were an important accessory item for shoes at this time and I'm intrigued by them.
They most likely would have been made of silver and could have been studded with paste
or real gemstones. Here are a few of the plates I have showing designs for them.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteOooooohhhhh beautiful png lady!!! It's very interesting to see and read about the details of clothing. I find it unfortunate that some people dismember old books to sell only the prints, because then you lose all the descriptions about the fashion of the time.
Many thanks!!!

Hello to you too Sylvie
DeleteShe is such a fun image. I know that she really depicts a lady of high fashion but I keep thinking of her as a French maid - It must be the hat. giggles
I know, I try and get full books when possible but many times it is only the plates that survive; however I'm happy that some of them still exist today. I actually have many of the descriptions for these french plates; however they are all in French.
Unlike yourself I do not understand French and even trying to use a digital translator they just don't make a lot of sense. I think it's because words and expressions from the 1700's just don't translate well to modern explanation and you honestly need to fully understand the language you are attempting to translate when dealing with older text like these.
Still the pictures are so pretty!
Cheers,
Evelyn
