    Subseries C. Fashion Plates and Periodicals (large size)

    Visual Materials

    This subseries contains over 120 printed illustrations of American and French fashion trends dating from the 1830s to the early 1900s. These images, commonly known as "fashion plates," typically depict men, women, or children modeling current clothing styles. Larger plates (larger than 14 x 10 inches in this collection), primarily intended for display, advertised the products and services of fashion designers, tailors, and pattern makers. For smaller plates (14 x 10 inches or less in this collection) see Series I, Subseries C. The collection features 42 plates by Genio C. Scott dating from 1841 to 1876, 28 plates of E. Butterick & Co. dating from 1867 to 1886, and 23 plates from the French fashion magazine La Mode Illustrée dating from 1872 to 1886. The oldest fashion plate is an 1832 print from New York City tailor A. F. Saguezs. The plates contain predominantly uncolored or hand-colored images. This material provides a resource for studying changing fashion trends in the United States and France in the 19th century. Among the changes reflected, men's fashions saw transitions from pantaloons to trousers and cravats to neck ties. Frock coats for day and tail coats for evening were very popular for much of the period. For women, a wide variety of styles, trends, and clothing items are represented, including gigot sleeves, wide full skirts, bustled and draped dresses, fitted bodices, riding habits, outerwear, and various hats, bonnets, and headdresses.

The majority of the collection is French and most of the tailors, seamstresses, fashion designers, artists, and printers credited on the plates were located in Paris, France. Periodicals commonly represented in the collection include Le Bon Ton, Le Boudoir, Le Cabinet de Lecture, Le Caprice, Costume Parisiens, Le Follet Courier des Salons, Gazette des Salons, L'Illustrateur des Dames, Journal des Demoiselles, Journal des Femmes, Journal des Jeunes Personnes, Journal des Modes, La Lanterne Magique, Le Magasin des Familles, La Mode, La Mode des Demoiselles, La Mode Illustrée, Modes de Paris, Paris Elegant, Revue de la Mode, La Sylphide, Le Voleur, and several other publications.
