Fashion in Paris; the various phases of feminine taste and aesthetics from 1797 to 1897
A survey of a century of French women's dress, written by Octave Uzanne, translated by M. S. Hely-Hutchinson Loyd and illustrated by François Courboin, published by Heinemann in London in 1898 for English readers interested in costume history. The pictures are pen-and-ink figures in text margins, each dated, showing a single woman in profile or from behind with heavy cast shadows, strong silhouette outlines and hatched trim on bonnets, flounces and shawls; useful for period costume silhouettes, spot illustrations and text-wrap figures.
