This 1808 fashion plate from the Dutch magazine "Elegantia" depicts a woman in a blue patterned dress with a white shawl. The fashion plate, a popular art form in the 19th century, is a hand-colored illustration that showcases the latest trends in clothing and accessories. This particular plate, titled "Robe d'Etoffe de Lyon. Mitaines en Tricot de Berlin," highlights a gown made from Lyon fabric and a knitted shawl. The image is a valuable historical resource for understanding 19th century fashion and social customs.
