"Jacques Esnauts and Michel Rapilly created the 'Galerie des Modes, a series of colored fashion plates and portfolios. It was published from 1778-1787 and distributed in Paris. Over 400 plates were issued over the ten year period and were produced by prominent eighteenth century designers and engravers...In 1911 Emile Lévy published a reproduction of the Galerie des Modes, re engraving the plates and coloring them by hand as were the original." This previous post is an excellent read on the subject. Alors, sans plus tarder... posted by clavdivs (1 comment total) 2 users marked this as a favorite
