Illustration with a design for male and female costumes of an "Incroyable" and a "Cantinière", part of the 64th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published in Paris on March 1, 1914. The illustration features a dancing couple wearing late-18th-century style costumes. He, an "Incroyable", wears a brown jacket with blue-and-white striped lapels, white shirt and scarf, light brown trousers, blue-and-white socks under black boots, and matching black hat. She, a "Cantinière", wears a blue and yellow military-inspired dress featuring a round skirt and a white apron, over blue trousers, a black hat with a yellow ribbon around her head, and black-and-white boots. They are dancing in front of a group of people, all wearing different sorts of costumes.
