A black and white engraving from December 26, 1886. The illustration shows a fashionable Victorian woman sitting on an elegant Parisian sofa with tufted back and decorative arms. She is dressed for dinner in a black dress with plenty of lace, tulle and beaded embellishments. Elbow-length gloves and a stylish fan complete her evening ensemble.
