“Turning our attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, and the cherry blossoms.” – A Tale Of A Floating World, 1665
Today I was researching fashion for my upcoming December release Wicked Little Secrets which is set in London in the 1840s. I thought that over the next two days, I would share some lovely, er… I mean, handsome fashion images from the French journal L’Élégant : Journal Des Tailleurs found in the
Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Enjoy!
Usually I’m digging through old archives looking for images that display what people wore and how their surroundings looked. Tonight, I thought I would try something a little different. I ran a search on old films. I think you will enjoy these gems from www.archive.org. Click on the image to view the movie.
