Very good copy of the rarest of Louis-Marie Lanté's costume books

Complete with all 100 fine fashion plates of the women of Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Franconia, Kingdom of Naples, etc.

First edition in a contemporary binding by A.-F. David of Courtrai (Kortrijk, West Flanders).

Most plates signed by Lanté and engraver Gatine, a few unsigned credited to Horace Vernet.

Explanatory text by Pierre de la Mésangère, editor of the long-running Parisian fashion magazine Journal des Dames.

A fascinating collection of European fashion plates including pretty servant girls, milkmaids, cooks, chambermaids and fisherwomen, ladies and peasants, fruit sellers and florists. Many in bonnets and aprons, carrying baskets and other tools of their trades, many dressed in their finest clothes or festival costumes. The Spanish plates are particularly fine, with ladies in lace mantilla veils from Madrid, bolero or fandango dancers from Seville, a lady in mourning from Majorca, etc.

Louis-Marie Lanté, 1789-1871, was a French painter, a pupil of Vaudoyer, and exhibited at the Salons from 1824 to 1838. He was the most prolific artist for Pierre de la Mésangère's famous Journal des Dames et des Modes for which he drew 1,466 fashion plates in watercolor from 1814 to 1829, many engraved by Georges-Jacques Gatine. He also drew suites of regional and historical costume plates including Ouvrieres de Paris 1816-1927, Costumes of Caux 1827, Costumes of Hamburg 1827, Galerie des Femmes 1827, etc. All his books are very rare.

Georges-Jacques Gatine, 1773-c.1841, was a French engraver and etcher who specialized in costume plates and worked extensively with Lanté.
