Description

Printed on border: "This brings us to the aurora of the Regency, and a renaissance then occurs in feminine coquetry. We are now about to find our sunshade in gallant parties, supported by little turbaned negroes; already we see it decorated with fringes of gold and trimmings of silk, enhanced with plumes of feathers, mounted on Indian bamboos, covered with changing silks, embellished in a thousand and one ways…" Written on border: "1883" Includes additional text. Foxing on image.
