French court dress of 1785
Fashion magazines have been around for quite a while and the quality of images could vary greatly depending on the publication. Some of the late 1700's fashion plates are quite exquisite such as the images from Galerie des Modes et Costumes (which I blogged about earlier from Feb - May 2012, one example of which can be seen HERE). Other publications have plates that are more rustic in appearance yet are still noteworthy for their fashion references and artistic appeal. Even these "rougher" looking images can make fun additions to digital art projects. The Courting Couple by EKDuncan using vintage French fashion plates from 1785-1786 Today I have a few French Fashion plates from the 1785-1786 to share with you. They are from the publications: "Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles" and "Magasin Des Modes Noubelles Francaise et Anglaises" At the bottom of the post I have provided a variety of colorized versions for the above couple. I hope you enjoy them! The Fashion Plates from 1785-1786 French Fashion (Dec 1785) - Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles French Fashion for Men (Dec 1785) - Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles French Fashion (Sept 1786) - Magasin Des Modes Nouvelles Francaise et Anglaises French Fashion (Sept 1786) - Magasin Des Modes Nouvelles Francaise et Anglaises French Fashion (Oct 1786) - Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles French Fashion (Nov 1786) - Magasin Des Modes Nouvelles Francaise et Anglaises The Lady from my Courting Couple Scene French Fashion (Mar 1785) - Cabinet Des Modes ou Les Modes Nouvelles I thought this image was quite lovely and turned her into a png; then I created a variety of color combinations so I could use her in digital art projects. The Lady PNG in the original color version EKDuncan - Green Version EKDuncan - Rose Version EKDuncan - Plum Version EKDuncan - Aqua Version EKDuncan - Grey Version The Gent from my Courting Couple Scene French Fashion (Dec 1786) - Magasin Des Modes Nouvelles Francaise et Anglaises I thought this handsome fellow would be good to use in a few scenes so; he too was turned into a png and given a few wardrobe adjustments in the process. The Gent The Original Colors EKDuncan - Blue Version EKDuncan - Grey Version EKDuncan - Plum Version The Background Naturally you need a backdrop of some sort to create a scene and in this case I dug into my Ackermann Repository resources and chose this lovely image of Holly Grove House from 1823; however since the house is from an earlier date I thought it would work quite well with my characters. I had not previously posted this image so it's a new one to add to your collection. Other Ackermann Repository landscapes can be found HERE 1823 Ackermann Repository image of Holly Grove House For my scene I flipped the image so it appears in reverse, just in case you were wondering. The Frame I like to digitally "frame" my art and used one from my vintage collection. I created it using a vintage frame and added in the extra surround for added interest. A Higher Resolution version of this can be found at my deviantART account HERE Other High Resolution versions of my Vintage Frames can be found HERE One last look at the Courting Couple All and all I thought this made a sweet little outdoor scene. I've got a few new ones coming up using interior furniture plates; so remember to check back and see how those came out. Till Next Time...

Inspiration to this historical fabric design I have found from a sample collection own by Anders Berch (1711–1774): He was a professor of economics in Uppsala, Sweden. He created a large collection of textile material samples from trading houses in Europe to teach students how an item was made.The given name is Anna Hammar-Rosén. She was a Swedish newspaper editor. She published the Gothenburg newspaper Hwad Nytt? What's New? between 1773 and 1785 and is the first known female editor-in-chief in Sweden.
