This 1866 fashion plate, titled "Cendrillon," depicts two women and a young girl in elaborate clothing. The style is typical of the mid-19th century, with full skirts, fitted bodices, and elaborate details. The women are wearing large, ornate capes, with one featuring a striped pattern in green and white. The young girl is dressed in a similarly voluminous gown, accented with lace. The artist, who is unidentified, likely created this plate for a fashion journal, as the image is labeled with the address "Rue de Richelieu," which suggests the location of a fashion house or publisher. "Cendrillon" is French for Cinderella, adding a touch of whimsy to this fashion plate. This print is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of fashion in the 19th century.
