A single engraved fashion plate from Harper's Weekly, April 16, 1859, titled "Paris Fashions for April." It shows several women in crinoline gowns with fringed or ruffled skirts, floral bouquets, and a fur-trimmed wrap, with a man in a dark coat standing among them. The only text is the caption, so the item is useful mainly as a visual record of mid-19th-century women's dress.
