Antique Victorian 3-D Fashion Picture, Textile And Print, Original Frame, 1877

Size: Frame 51 x 45 cm, picture inside frame 26 x 33 cm (10 x 13 inches) approx. Condition: Very good antique condition, frames refurbished with new acrylic glazing, general toning to print paper and slight ageing to textiles. This is a charming, striking and unusual picture, in its original box frame, made from a print which was issued as a supplement to The Queen, Ladies Newspaper and Court Chronicle, August 4th 1877. The print has been enhanced by using actual textiles to create the dresses of the principal ladies shown in the print. A complex variety of fabrics, lace borders etc has been used, and the figures filled out to create a 3-d picture. This particular print was printed by Falconer in Paris and is entitled "Latest Paris Fashions, Presented to subscribers to The Queen, The Lady's Newspaper and court chronicle." We have two other similar pictures in matching frames, from an original set of three, for sale (see our other items).
