Five pages of fashion plates with short descriptive captions from the October 1860 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. They show the Medicis or shawl mantle, the Zouave morning robe, the Jeddo (a gray silk dress for morning calls) and the Saragossa cloak, plus a hand-colored plate of four women in mid-19th-century dress. The captions describe fabrics, colors and trimmings such as pinked silk frills, box-pleated flounces and passementerie.
