Costume of a bourgeois woman. She wears a genteel copy of the merveilleuse fashion: dress in turquoise bordered with satin, hat made of large ribbons tied with grey silk bands. Handcoloured etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. from "Costumes of the Directory," Rouquette, Paris, 1875. The etchings were made from designs by Eugene Lacoste and Draner after prints of the era 1795-99. The costumes are from theatre productions "Merveilleuses" and "Pres Saint-Gervais" by Victorien Sardou.
