This fashion plate, "Le Journal des Dames et des Demoiselles, 1861, No. 640 : Edition Belge. Toilettes (...)" by Jean-Baptiste Réville, depicts two women in the latest fashions of the 1860s. The women are shown outdoors in a park-like setting, with one wearing a black dress over a purple underskirt and the other wearing a light pink dress with black trim. This fashion plate, typical of the time, demonstrates the elegance and detail of 19th-century dress and is a valuable source for understanding fashion history.
