4.0 out of 5 stars Book ONLY covers 1886. Listing wrong: book really titled "La Mode Illustree .... [see review]"
By Ben W 907496 on April 15, 2021
The listing calls this book "Elegant French Fashions of the Nineteenth Century" but that is NOT the name of the book the listing's ISBN number points to: the book you get is ACTUALLY called "La Mode Illustrée: Fashion Plates in Full Color." This book would be MORE ACCURATELY titled "La Mode Illustrée: Fashion Plates from 1886."

If you're here for fashion plates in a book that is not even a 1/4in thick, with 32 individual leaves including the title page and forward, and with a narrow scope between precisely January 1886 and December 1886, with large sharp fashion plates in full color, this is the book for you.

If you don't particularly enjoy 1886's silhouette, expected more, or wanted "Elegant French Fashions of the Nineteenth CENTURY," this is decidedly NOT what you're looking for.
