Old Court Life in France ... New edition, with ... illustration, etc
A popular history of the French court by Frances Elliot, issued in a new illustrated edition by Ward & Downey in London in 1886 for general English readers. Full-page wood-engraved plates show costumed figures in palace interiors: courtiers in doublets and plumed hats, women in wide skirts, kneeling petitioners and crowded audience scenes, each with an engraved caption line and generous white margins, useful for period dress, furniture and grouped-figure compositions.
