Godey's lady's book 1863 Jan -June; Jul - Dec
Godey's Lady's Book for 1863, the Philadelphia monthly edited by Sarah Josepha Hale for Louis Godey, aimed at American middle-class women and mixing fiction with fashion and needlework instruction. Small wood engravings show headless bodices, sleeves, collars and trimmings rendered in dense hatching, useful for period garment silhouettes, braid and lace motifs, and cropped figure vignettes.
