This is a pair of original early Regency fashion plates from the "Magazine of Female Fashions of London and Paris", which first appeared in 1798 and continued until 1806. The 110 issues were bound into three volumes: 1798-1800, 1801-03 and 1804-06. The Magazines were "Printed for R Phillips of 71 St Paul's Church Yard".

These two engravings with later hand-colouring depicting the latest outdoor and indoor fashions from London and Paris are displayed within ivory mounts with gold line and pretty gilded wooden frames. Labels are attached to reverse providing information about the publication from which these plates were removed.

Walking Dresses, examples of which are shown on the Parisian fashion plate, were worn on outdoor occasions when one wanted to see and be seen. They are often referred to as Promenade Dresses, a very literal definition of their purpose. Full dress, on the other hand, would have been the most formal of all evening wear, for both men and women. Full dress was worn only for very formal occasions, such as a ball or a formal reception or party.

Dimensions: Frame 31.5 x 23 cm, Image (mount internal) 21 x 12.5 cm
