Incredibly beautiful 1841 rare book. “The Ladies’ Cabinet of Fashion, Music and Romance” , with numerous hand-colored illustrations .
First published in 1832, it purported to be produced and edited by a pair of sisters, Margaret and Beatrice De Courcy. Evidence suggests the De Courcys were in fact either pseudonyms, or entirely fictional creations.
The Ladies Cabinet features a mix of short stories, poetry, sheet-music, special interest pieces, and reports on the latest in women’s fashions from London and Paris. It is also heavily illustrated; in addition to woodcuts and copper-engraved illustrations of the narratives, each issue carries a charming collection of elegantly hand-colored fashion plates.
