Okay so Louis Devere ...Ah... thanks Loretta got it. Okay so Louis Devere in the reference below started The Gentleman's Magazine in 1828 - interesting. The Gentleman's Magazine did change ownership several times I believe so that's probably what happened. I think that it is likely that the magazine was aimed at the tailoring trade.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/pexgs5p<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004403615102176000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-67199251701273085652015-08-14T18:12:34.403-04:002015-08-14T18:12:34.403-04:00Christina, if you will click on the caption, it wi...Christina, if you will click on the caption, it will take you to the magazine online, and you can read the title page.

The publication was a guide for tailors and contained the latest fashion styles from England, France and Germany. Published 1828-1894. The magazine contained specific reference to pattern cutting systems and tailoring techniques.<br /><br />I queried your reference to the title of the publication because there is another well known publication "The Gentleman's Magazine" which I believe did not contain fashion plates or patterns.<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004403615102176000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-5056164980224231702015-06-24T14:02:16.013-04:002015-06-24T14:02:16.013-04:00Did you notice how high the heels are on the shoes...Did you notice how high the heels are on the shoes.

Just as London's mantua makers and milliners perused the Paris papers so that their designs would be a la mode, so would those in Boston, New York, Williamsburg (you knew that...) Calcutta, Hong Kong and so many other places need clues as to how the fashionable Londoners dressed so that their clothes would conform to the ideal - whether meeting people newly out from 'home' or when they returned on leave....GSGreatEscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362042499522934670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-51610500105438907452015-06-24T06:18:10.064-04:002015-06-24T06:18:10.064-04:00Wonderful illustration.
