Journal des Luxus und der Moden 1788, Band III, T.10 1788

This engraving, part of the *Journal des Luxus und der Moden* (Journal of Luxury and Fashion) by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, showcases two women in fashionable attire. The women are presented in oval portraits, with the top one wearing a pink and black dress, with her hair styled with a pink scarf. The woman below is wearing a blue scarf that drapes over her head and a dress with a similar pattern. The use of engraving, a popular printing technique at the time, allowed for the mass reproduction of these images, offering a glimpse into the evolving fashion trends of late 18th-century Europe. The journal itself was a significant cultural artifact, disseminating information about fashion, arts, and culture to a wider audience.
