Today I have a small selection of 1787 fashion plate images from the publication
"Magasin des Modes Nouvelles, Francaises et Anglaises".
Based on the information I have been able to find this publication ran from 1786-1789 and I've been fortunate enough to acquire a variety of fashion images from all the years it was produced.
My
previous post showed a few of the 1876 fashions and several "Hat Fashions" from this publication can be seen -
HERE (they start about a quarter of the way down the post).

| Garden Stroll by EKDuncan - showing a 1787 fashion lady from Magasin des Modes Nouvelles |
This digital scene was created using an Ackermann Repository background, one of my EKDuncan vintage frames and a lovely vintage fashion plate that I turned into PNG form and altered the color.
I've included a variety of colorized fashions at the bottom of the post so I hope you enjoy them.

*****************************
"Garden Stroll"
I used the teal version of lady #1 and reversed her direction for my scene and then
it was just a question of finding a pretty backdrop and frame to finish her off.
Here are the last two images I used to create this quick digital scene.
The Background
I used an 1827 image from Ackermann Repository's Country Seat series as my background.
I have not previously posted this image so it's another new one for you to add to your collection.
Other Ackermann "Country Seat" landscapes are available

| 1827 Marine Villa - Isle of Wight from Ackermann's Repository |
The Frame
One of my digital creations based on a vintage frame from my personal collection.
A Higher Resolution version of this can be found at my deviantART account

I still have more Georgian Era Fashion plates coming up so

Dear Evelyn,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a generous and big heart! Thank you for the .png files...that's a lot of work cleaning them up...and I so appreciate it. Your scene looks just like a beautiful painting and it's so serene.
Hey Terri! - Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying the PNG's.
DeleteI hope you get to create some fun art of your own with them too.
I love the way many of the old fashion plate figures work with the vintage Ackermann backgrounds. It makes creating scenes so much fun and yes I thought this one had a serene look to it too.
Grins,
Evelyn
Hello,
ReplyDeleteAlways sooooooo gorgeous!!! You respect the state of original prints for your creations, even when you vary the colors, and it's so good. Il like so much the litlle pastel ladies!
Many many many thanks!
Sylvie
Thanks Sylvie!
DeleteI think the original images have so much charm in their original and historical color schemes; however I can't resist creating my own versions so I can put a little of me into them and bring them into the 21 century.
It's also interesting to note that occasionally you come across vintage prints that were reprinted several times over the years; and the new publisher altered the colors of the clothing to suite their new audience. So basically I'm continuing a long standing tradition of altering the color combination of an ensemble to better suite the time in which it will be viewed.
Giggles,
Evelyn
