Rear view of fashionable woman in an Uhlan cap, 1801. The hat had a lozenge-shaped crown and turned up at the front like a Uhlan lancer’s helmet and was worn by the elegantes of Longchamps. She wears a short-sleeved dress with high waist. Chapeau a la Hulan. Handcoloured copperplate engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere’s Journal des Modes et Dames, Paris, 1801. The illustrations in volume 4 were by Carle Vernet, Bosio, Dutailly and Philibert Louis Debucourt.
