Galerie des modes et costumes français, dessinés d'après nature, 1778-1787;
A 1912 Paris reprint by Paul Cornu of the late eighteenth-century fashion plates in the Galerie des modes et costumes français, 1778-1787, made for readers of French dress history. The hand-coloured plates show standing women in full-length gowns, with paniers, ruffles, feathered headdresses and fans, in saturated pink, green, and striped silks against plain cream pages; a designer could draw on their silhouettes, trim patterns, and rococo-era colour pairings.
