This 1817 hand-colored engraving, titled "Fashion News Copied: Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung," depicts three figures in the latest fashion. The image showcases the styles of the era, including a man in a black coat, a woman in a white dress, and another woman in a white gown. The print is a prime example of fashion illustration from the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the clothing, accessories, and hairstyles that were popular at the time. "Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung" was a popular periodical dedicated to fashion news, contributing to the spread of fashion trends and aesthetics. The print's small size, measuring only 191mm by 174mm, makes it a miniature snapshot of a bygone era's fashion.
Comments
Under the banner of ‘the newest of the new and the best of what’s good’, the German Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung (1807-1903) published illustrations that had often already appeared in leading French and English fashion magazines. These three models were copied from the French Journal des Dames and combined in a single print.
