OverviewExcerpt from Dame Fashion: Paris-London (1786-1912) In illustrating my work with contemporary plates, in spite of the temptation to execute the drawings myself, I was actuated by the idea of giving the accurate local colour and characteristics which only prints of the period can convey, and which also undoubtedly give, not only authority, but pictorial value to the text. I am indebted to the Queen newspaper for the right to reproduce some of their more recent fashion plates, to many Government officials in London and Paris who have courteously given me access to documents of invaluable assistance, to Mr. Theodore Lumley and Mr. Walter Lumley for placing at my disposal their collection of books and prints of old London, and to Mr. Charles jerningham Marmaduke for some interesting information concerning London Society in the 'seventies.
