Georgian Fashion Plates, circa 1730-1807

Here are some scans of 1700's Fashion Plates, reprinted in 1807.  The originals are very yellowed and spotted, so I've cleaned them up quite a bit.  If anyone is interested in a scan of the original, I can send you a copy.

At first glance these etchings are stiff, too dark, and not very interesting. But if you look closely you see the faces on the models are very animated, alive. The people look like they are having a good time, walking in the park or chatting with one another.
