1850s Petit Courrier des Dames Fashion Plate - Mid-Century Repro - Framed 8x10

Step into the elegance of 19th-century Parisian fashion with this framed Petit Courrier des Dames fashion plate, likely a mid-20th-century reproduction of an original 1850s illustration. The scene features two women and a young girl in richly detailed attire, set within a luxurious interior of drapery and ornate furnishings. Petit Courrier des Dames was a Parisian fashion journal founded after the Napoleonic Wars and became one of the most successful ladies’ magazines of its time. Published every five days, it featured high-quality fashion plates that illustrated garments and accessories alongside the names of Parisian dressmakers, florists, and jewelers. These plates influenced fashion across Europe and were often reproduced for decorative use well into the 20th century. This particular print is framed with a sealed paper backing, so the exact age and printing method remain unverified. Based on framing style and paper tone, it is likely a mid-century reproduction, not an original 19th-century engraving. Still, it offers a charming glimpse into Victorian fashion and remains a striking decorative piece. - Condition: Excellent vintage condition - Frame Dimensions: 8x10" - Estimated Era of Print: Early to mid 1900s reproduction of 1850s fashion plate
