Recently, Jean-François de Buren (who writes at The Grand Tour and The De Büren Family) was kind enough to scan some images from a magazine for me, to share with you! The magazine is from 1866, and was the property of his great-great-grand aunt, Guillaumine Louise de Büren.
I hope you like them as much as I do! Thank you to Jean for scanning these!
Oh goodness, these are beautiful. The quality is amazing for 140-year-old documents! Part of me wishes it were acceptable to still dress like this.
Lovely. And nice to see children included. The christening gown seems pretty similar to those in use today.
Lovely! Such beautiful fashion plates! It’s amazing that they have withstood the passing of time for so long.
I’m obsessed with these.
Kewl you should come up with that. Exlntleec!

Thank you very mutch for posting!
love 19th century fashion prints. Theses are beautiful. I was just at a estate sale that had well over a hundred dating from the year 1800-1860’s. I bought some mostly from the early 19th century as they are harder to find.
