This is a fine print from 19th-century fashion print from Moniteur des Dames et des Demoiselles depicts two elegantly dressed women in an outdoor setting, showcasing the sophisticated styles of the late 1870s. The woman on the left wears a fitted maroon jacket with pleated details and a high collar, paired with a blue skirt featuring intricate draping and buttons along the front. Her outfit is accentuated with floral embellishments on her hat and a bouquet of white flowers in her gloved hand, enhancing the ensemble's charm.
The woman on the right is dressed in a tan gown with a high lace collar and detailed trimmings, including pleats and decorative ribbons along the bodice and skirt. Her outfit is accessorized with a matching lace bonnet adorned with flowers and ribbons, and she holds a small red parasol, signifying a fashionable promenade. Her posture and refined appearance reflect the elegance expected of women during this period.
The background features a serene garden with blooming flowers and a distant stately building, adding a tranquil yet sophisticated atmosphere to the composition. The print’s focus on tailored garments, complemented by floral accents and intricate detailing, exemplifies the late 19th-century shift toward structured yet decorative women’s fashion.
The text beneath the illustration identifies it as part of Moniteur des Dames et des Demoiselles, a prominent Parisian fashion magazine based at 3 Rue du 4 Septembre. Created by the artist Jules David in 1878, this print highlights the magazine’s dedication to capturing the essence of contemporary Parisian style.
