Photograph of a printed vintage fashion plate showing a standing woman in a late-19th-century (1890s) purple gown with leg-of-mutton / puffed sleeves, high lace collar and gloves. The plate appears mounted on aged paper with light foxing and a handwritten date at upper right. Caption at the bottom reads 'La Mode Pratique'. This is a paper ephemera item (printed illustration), not a photograph of a real person in contemporary clothing.
