Seven engraved plates from the June 1858 issue of Peterson's Magazine, covering fashion and needlework. They include a hand-colored Paris fashion plate (Les Modes Parisiennes), bridal head-dresses, a carriage costume, summer bonnets, a head-dress and a pichu (lace collar). Needlework designs include a handkerchief corner with monogram, a bead-work pattern, a handkerchief box front, a hanging what-not with embroidered panel and fringe, and a grape-pattern edging, plus a Raphael body and skirt pattern. There is almost no running text, only captions.
