La Mode, 1831, Pl. 164, Bonnet à l'anglais (...) 1831

This fashion plate, titled "La Mode" and created in 1831 by Jean-Denis Nargeot, depicts two women wearing the latest fashions of the time. The woman on the left wears a white dress with a floral pattern and a large, elaborate hat. She holds a writing quill and rests her hand on a small table, suggesting the scene takes place in a home or drawing room. The woman on the right wears a simple white dress with a pink bodice and a small bonnet. The detailed illustrations and the text highlighting specific fashion designers and retailers offer a glimpse into the trends and social aspects of Parisian fashion during the early 19th century.
