Some scanned colour plates from the Batsford Book.  From the cover flap:

"More than half of the colour plates from this volume are taken from Heideloff's Gallery of Fashion.  His plates are among the masterpieces of the English School of aquatints; curiously little other work is known by him...

La Mode Feminine

Here are some scans from a book I have, published in the 1920's, of fashion plates from the eras starting in 1795-to 1820.  They used the pochoir (stencil) technique, rather than individually painting each print with water-colors as fashion magazines in the Georgian-Regency-Empire Era did.

The drawings are somewhat Art Deco-y; I think they highlight the similarity of Fashions of the time to the Regency time. Both were influenced by "Greco-Roman classicalism" mixed with Egyptian themes, the Empire/Regency got theirs from Napoleon (and then Admiral Nelson's) excursions to Egypt.  And in the 20's fashion -and Art- was somewhat influenced by the discovery of King Tut's tomb.

I'll be adding more in a bit.  The prints are in good condition, tho yellowed.

Here is the next La Mode Feminine, years 1820 to 1845.  Some plates are missing. It wouldn't be hard to loose one or two as they are loose, not bound.

Aren't these gorgeous?

French Fashion Illustration

This print was in such bad condition -it looked as tho it had been used as a place-mat- that I went ahead and did a lot of "fixing up" of the original.

I scanned these plates in a year or so back, and omitted the Title, Dates or comments.  I'll have to go thru my albums to get the info; then add it to the pictures.   These were in such great condition they didn't really need much cleaning up.

This is just a beautiful engraving.  The original is 12"; I shrunk it a little.

Regency Dresses from Lady's Magazine

Not nearly as well engraved or tinted as Ackermann's or La Belle Assemblee, and the paper quality quite grainy.  But they've held up pretty well for 200 years!

More Georgian-era Fashions.

I am unsure when these were published, probably early 1800's.
