Petit Courrier des Dames, Journal des Modes. No. 19-36, Tome XXXV. 5 Octobre - 31 Decembre 1838. With 24 Plates (Numbered 1484-1507).

1838. Hardcover. Very Good+. Numerous issues bound in one volume. Half leather and marbled paper over boards; pp. 145-288, plus 24 colored plates. Boards detached; plate 1491 cut close along the bottom edge, eliminating a word or two of text. A perfect candidate for re-binding, as text and plates are remarkably clean, bright, and lovely, suitable for display. Most of these lavishly produced images show young ladies’ dresses and hats (from the front and back, in different colors), with 3 plates featuring men’s fashion, and 2 featuring children’s.
