Merveilleuse: Chapeau de paille, orné de Cocquelicots, Robe garnie de Bouillonnés

Hand-colored engraving with design for the costume of a Merveilleuse, part of the book "Incroyables et Merveilleuses," with 33 costume plates designed by Horace Vernet and engraved by Georges Jacques Gatine, published ca. 1815 in Paris. The costume in this plate consists of a straw bonnet with a white bow and a bundle of stylized red flowers and long, green leaves, a long, white empire dress with the bustline marked by a white belt with green checks, tied to form a small bow in the front, and green boots with black points and pink details. The collar of the dress is made up of layers of white scales with grids of lozenges and a pink puff collar tight around the neck. The sleeves are long and wide, made up of a white fabric with thin, vertical, green stripes, each containing two pink puffed stripes, one at the shoulder level, the other at the wrist, from which emerge bell-shaped cuffs with scalloping edges that match the scales on the collar. The border of the skirt also consists of strips of white scales with lozenge grids and pink puffed stripes.
