Antique Hand-Colored Fashion Plate, 1860s

An original hand-colored fashion engraving from the crinoline era — the great age of Godey's, Peterson's, and La Mode Illustrée. Two ladies in tiered, ribbon-trimmed gowns, rendered in soft greens and ivory with the gentle foxing that tells you it's the real thing. Set in a carved wood frame with pierced corners that suits it perfectly.

A ready-to-hang piece of the 19th century. Lovely in a gallery wall or propped on a shelf.
