About This Item
[London: Edward Harrison], January, 1887. Elephant folio. 17.25 x 25.25 ins. Hand-coloured engraving, architectural details in the backgrounds, originally folded into four sheets (some chipping & edgewear to plate, creases, some minor repairs to verso, small tears to lower fore-edge affecting a few letters), a G- copy, w/ the colour and images still very bright and crisp. First edition of this very scarce and beautiful fashion Supplement leaf which was laid-in with this Victorian monthly which was comprised of articles on fashion, embroidery, sewing, craft work, family reading, sheet music, and more. The fashions in the top row include day wear and more casual clothing for the well-dressed Victorian girl, as well as winter jackets, muffs, and hats. The second row is devoted to evening gowns, and formal wear reflecting the revived return to the bustle, the fashionable tight corset which was intended to create a long torso, and force an S-shape, as well as high collars and chokers reflecting the influence of Alexandra, Princess of Wales who hid a scar with these methods. The bottom row encompasses dress coats, and evening coats which were long, have elaborate hats, fur trims, and yards of rich fabrics. Each monthly issue would include descriptions of the illustrations and prices for cut-out fashion patterns which could be purchased from the Young Ladies’ Journal. Typically since these were published on fragile paper, and often thrown away, they have become quite scarce.
