Galerie des modes et costumes français, dessinés d'après nature, 1778-1787;
A 1912 Paris reprint by Paul Cornu of late eighteenth-century French fashion plates from the Galerie des modes et costumes français, drawn from life between 1778 and 1787 for readers interested in costume history. The hand-coloured plates show fashionable women and a man in full-length poses against cream paper with captions beneath, offering a designer clear reference for silhouettes, layered skirts, ribbon trims and bonnets of the period.
