Costumes Parisiens: Robe de crépon blanc à pois jaune; Robe de fillette en écossais cerise et vert
Plate with an illustration of Parisian Costumes for a woman and a child, part of the 38th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published on June 10, 1913. The illustration features a woman wearing a long, draped dress, made out of white crepe with yellow polka-dots, a black "cloche" hat with yellow details, black high heels with straps, and brown, long gloves. She sits on a gray bench with a small, red book to her side, and looks at a young girl that stands in front of her, wearing a short dress with a tartan pattern made up of green lines over a cherry-red ground, a green hat with black border and a small flower on the side, brown, wrist-length gloves, and white strap shoes. She holds a black cat (?) in her arms. The two are on a balcony with bluish-gray floors, in front of a gray balustrade featuring a grey vase with a bundle of small, green leaves and cherries, and under a tree with thin branches and small, green leaves that peaks on the upper-right corner of the illustration under the blue sky.
