Paris Fashions: Head-Dresses and Mantles

DESCRIPTION: This image is a historical fashion engraving titled "PARIS FASHIONS: HEAD-DRESSES AND MANTLES," published in The Illustrated London News in November 1871.  It showcases a variety of ornate Victorian-era women's hats and outer garments known as mantles. The fashion illustrated reflects the transition from the wide crinoline styles of the 1860s towards the tighter, more bustle-focused silhouette of the 1870s. Such prints served as a visual guide for ladies to keep up with the latest Parisian trends during the late 19th century.
