Description: This colored print depicts a scene with two ladies in period attire, typical of 19th-century fashion illustrations. The work is executed using the gravure de mode technique. The signature G. Gonin is located in the lower left corner. The author is Guido Gonin (1833–1906), a renowned French illustrator who was active in the 1870s and 1880s. His drawn originals were regularly published in Parisian fashion magazines, such as Le Moniteur de la Mode or Revue de la Mode. This period fashion plate represents a significant source for the study of costume history and the visual culture of Paris during that era. The illustration is framed with a mat and a frame.
