Parisian Fashion
Another departure from architecture were the folks in their finery featured on these cards who are presented in the manner of dress-up dolls, where you are presented with a figure in their underwear upon which outer garments can be hung by means of tabs at the edges of the clothing. As the costumes include both a front and a rear face the two sides need to be glued together so making it impossible to undress your doll. You shouldn't be looking anyway. Here we have:
- Robe a la Pompadour (1759), Habit a la francaise (vers 1760)
- Robe Empire (1806), Officier de la Garde Napoleonienne (1805)
- Robe de bal 1912 (Paul Poiret)
- ditto, from the back
