Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1861-1863
The Fashions Expressly designed and executed in Paris for The Queen. An Illustrated Journal & Review.
Fashion plate from 'The Queen’ showing two women’s outfits. One woman wears an evening dress with a pink overskirt and pink and white overlapping scallop shapes on the lower front part of the skirt. The other women wears a lavender dress with black decorative details.
Both the dresses are worn over crinolines. Crinolines made of steel hoops gave skirts a bell shape. They were popular from the mid 1850s to the early 1860s.
‘The Queen’ was founded in 1861 by journalist and publisher Samuel Beeton and aimed at female, middle class readers. Beeton’s wife Isabella, best known for writing ‘Beeton’s Book of Household Management’ also helped to edit the magazine.
