1868 FASHION English Woman Domestic Magazine Illustrated Dresses Beeton Recipes

In mid-19^th-century England, there was a growing demand for literature on home-making and female interests. Numerous magazines and periodicals were published to try to meet this demand. One such work was Sam Beeton’s “Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine” – a magazine that, according to Diamond,

“targeted middle-class women and was an immediate commercial success, with its clever mix of French fashion plates, dressmaking paper patterns, designs for fancy-work, excellent recipes (by Mrs Beeton), and serialized novels.”

This tome contains 23 full-page engravings illustrating dresses and high fashion.
