38th 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 Tombadour costume, made up of a brown taille with white lace on the cuffs and neck, and with light blue fabric over the shoulders and around the neck, decorated with a small bundle of pink roses and green leaves, and a matching brown, calf-length skirt with vertical blue stripes on the front and with a heart-shaped apron with ruffled white lace borders and embroidered yellow bird motifs and a garland of pink roses and green leaves. The brown part of the skirt also has an embroidered bundle of pink roses and green leaves and a yellow bird. She wears a large, gray hat with brown ruffles and a bundle of pink roses, green leaves, and thin, brown feathers on her head, tied around her chin with a thin, brown ribbon. Another brown ribbon is tied around her neck, holding a small, cross-shaped pendant, and two more are tied around her wrists. She carries a yellow basket on one arm, filled with bundles of small pink roses and green leaves. She wears light blue stockings and tan shoes.
