Description
This paper, based on a lecture given in the fall of 1963 at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, traces the history of the fashion plate from its origins to its full development in the 19th century. Fashion illustration began in the late 15th and early 16th centuries with portrait pictures that made a person’s identity known not by his individual features but rather by his dress. Includes numerous illustrations.
