Godey’s Fashions — April 1864 Victorian Fashion Plate

Godey's Fashions, April 1864 is an elegant hand-colored Victorian fashion plate from Godey's Lady's Book, presenting five women and a young girl in fashionable mid-nineteenth-century dress. Expansive skirts, fitted bodices, lace, ribbons, floral embellishments and carefully arranged hairstyles showcase the elaborate silhouettes and decorative details associated with 1860s fashion.

Soft cream and gray gowns are complemented by vivid pink, blue, red and green accents, while delicate engraved linework creates a refined interior setting around the figures. Both a beautiful decorative image and a fascinating historical record, the plate captures the sophistication of Victorian fashion illustration and the visual culture of one of America's influential nineteenth-century women's periodicals.
