This anonymous fashion plate from 1776, from the series *Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français*, shows four different styles of women’s headdresses, including the "Bonnet rond" and the "Cornette retournée." The prints, part of a series documenting the fashion of the time, illustrate the elaborate hairstyles and headwear popular in France during the late 18th century. The use of hand-coloring adds to the delicate details of the drawings and provides a realistic glimpse into the world of fashion during this era.
