Antique Graphics Wednesday - 1860's Fashions & Advertisements

It's time for another

Antique Graphics Wednesday!

In an effort to make all the graphics I post each

week more easily retrievable,

I've created a new tab at the

top of my page titled,

"Antique Graphics to Print",

where all of the graphics are grouped

together by category,

so follow the link if you'd like

to see all the graphics I've

featured at Knick of Time.

Just click on the images on that page

to be taken to the original post

with the original, full-size images.

This will be ever-growing as new graphics
are added to the collection each week.

All of the images I'm posting
today come from my stock
of 1800's Peterson's Magazines.

Isn't this gown stunning?

There was a lot of bleed-through from the image

on the other side of the page, so I've eliminated

all of the background.

Here's an advertisement for scissors
from the magazines.

Each magazine had a 2-page spread

featuring the Paris fashions at the time,

so the gals in America could get their French fix.

Certainly not much different than 

the gals of today, was it?

I left this page in its original form,

because I think the aging on the page

shows the authentic look of a page that is 144 years old,

and would look wonderful when printed for

a craft or altered art project.

It honestly felt a little bizarre  

to hold a page in my hands that is THAT old!

It makes me wonder just how many

other women have gazed at these

pages in all those years.

I hope you've enjoyed this little journey back through time

through these images.

Next week I'll try to bring you more of the ads from the
1916 Etude magazine that
I showed you a few weeks ago.

Blessings,

Angie
