"Godey's Lady's Book"
American Fashions • circa 1860s

Original engravings over 150 years old.
Sheet size: approximately 9.5 x 6 inches

Fashion plates were engravings and lithographs that appeared in women’s magazines. Since clothing could not be obtained ready-made, these plates provided information to dressmakers and home sewers on the latest fashion trends. In the United States many of the engravings and lithographs were copied from plates in French magazines. The two most popular American women’s magazines during the Civil War were Godey’s Lady’s Book and Peterson’s Magazine.
