This is a French fashion plate titled “Le Moniteur de la Mode: Journal du Monde Élégant”, a prominent 19th-century Parisian fashion publication. This hand-colored engraving showcases mid-Victorian fashion, specifically a bride in a white gown with lace tiering, a fitted bodice, and veil (characteristic of 1850s wedding attire). And a bridesmaid in a richly detailed dress with a lace-trimmed bonnet and shawl or mantle, typical of daywear of the period.
