18th plate of album with 60 19th-century costume plates and 1 drawing of mostly women's historical costumes, featuring a variety of designs for traditional costumes from different parts of the world, as well as costumes for literary characters, including Esmeralda. This plate consists of a woman wearing a pilgrim costume, made up of a black dress, slowly shorter at the front-right, and a hooded cape, with angel faces on the borders, and tied around the waist by a rope. She wears cream gloves and black, lace-up low heels, and carries in her hand a cane with a glass bottle tied to it using a soft pink ribbon.
