Fashionable woman in Gulnare turban and Lisbeth dress, 1798. The turban may be based on the costume of a Persian slave character in the opera Rondeau de Gulnare ou L’esclave persanne, 1798, and the corset and petticoat based on the opera about a Swiss peasant, Lisbeth, 1797. Turban a la Gulnare. Corset et jupon a la Lisbeth. Handcoloured copperplate engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere’s Journal des Modes et Dames, Paris, 1798. The illustrations in volume 1 were by Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais and Philibert Louis Debucourt.
