About This Item

Collection of 149 hand-colored copperplate engravings only from Pierre de La Mésangère's famous fashion magazine.

Most women's fashion plates by the famous illustrator Louis Marie Lante, with 12 hat and bonnet plates by Victor Adam, taken from the issues February 1820 through to December 1821.

Plates numbered 1878 to 2036, some missing and some out of order, total of 149 fine fashion plates.

La Mésangère (1761-1831) was author, journalist and editor, and published the Journal from 1797 to 1839, covering the post-Revolutionary Directory era through the Napoleonic Empire and the Bourbon Restoration.

Green leather spine, red leather labels with gilt decoration, boards with green marble paper.

Condition: Binding scuffed but solid, plates clean and bright with slight spotting and usual crease down the centre (where the magazine was folded before binding).
