The Fashions of London & Paris 1798 - 1810

"The Fashions of London & Paris" is a hand-colored engraving by Richard Philips, depicting two fashionable women of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The women are adorned in the latest styles of the day, with elaborate gowns, hats, and accessories. The image is a snapshot of Parisian fashion during a period of significant social and political change in Europe, and the work is a valuable resource for art and fashion historians today. The piece is part of a larger series of engravings by Philips that documented the changing fashions of the era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this small, but intricate, artwork.
