La Mode Illustrée, Journal de la Famille, 1882 1882

This fashion plate from 1882, titled “La Mode Illustrée,” was created by Firmin-Didot & Cie. It depicts two women dressed in the latest fashions of the period, one in a golden gown with a blue and white plaid skirt, and another in a white dress with floral detailing. This fashion illustration, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the evolving trends of the 19th century and provides a visual glimpse into Parisian fashion culture of the time.
