This anonymous hand-colored print, *La Mode*, from c. 1837, depicts a fashionable couple in a tilbury, a type of two-wheeled carriage popular in the 19th century. The print is likely a fashion plate, meant to showcase the latest styles, as the woman's dress and the man's attire are detailed. The couple is shown riding through a landscape, with a white horse pulling the tilbury. The use of line and shading creates a sense of movement and dynamism, capturing the excitement of a carriage ride. *La Mode* provides a glimpse into 19th-century French fashion and social life.
