Journal des Demoiselles 1 Mars 1899, No. 5190 : Toilettes de Melle Marie Louis (...) 1899

This fashion plate, titled "Journal des Demoiselles" by artist P. Deferneville, was published in 1899. It depicts three women, two adults and a child, in the latest fashions of the era, showcasing their fine attire in an outdoor setting. The image serves as a visual record of turn-of-the-century fashion and is a beautiful example of fashion illustration from the Belle Époque. This work is a prime example of the fashion plate genre, which reached its peak in the late 19th century and used detailed illustrations to showcase the newest designs in clothing and accessories.
