Bureau des modes et costumes historiques.Paquet. Paris (c.1864)100 PRINTS:
$450.00
100 Original, individual colored lithographic costume prints illustrating the 18th and 19th centuries. Very good condition. Pages are cream paper sized (9\" x 12\") , some slightly smaller. Published by Paquet Freres in Paris, France. Any slight wear to pages does not affect the colorful image itself. A great reference to a broad spectrum of costume ranging from the courtiers to the layman and women, the city gentleman to the ruffian, the society woman and peasant. Each costume has considerable detail, characteristic posture, charm and rich coloring . For anyone in film and theater this is a great insight -- and a fun acquisition for the lover of the history of fashion.
