Seconde suite d'estampes, pour servir à l'histoire des modes, et du costume en France, dans le XVIII siecle, année 1776
A second suite of 1776 engravings by Jean Michel Moreau, published in Paris, showing French fashion and costume of the eighteenth century for a print-collecting audience of fashion historians. The four plates show elegantly dressed figures in panelled salons, with gowns, caps and coats rendered in fine hatched lines. A designer could take from them the silhouettes of late eighteenth-century dress, the layered ruffles and fichus, and the staging of interiors with boiseries, drapery and small tables.
