Fashion and magazines

   In NewYork Public Library (NYPL), we can find a magazine which name is  “The Peterson’s Magazine” published between 1843 and 1898. In 1866 Peterson's Magazine began to feature double-sized color fashion plates engraved on steel, woodcuts of the newest clothing, and colored patterns for all varieties of needlework. In the XIX century women knew how to sew, and if they did not know they could pay other women to sew for them their clothes. They take as an example to follow the pictures that appered in magazines of that epoch. Here we can see an example of that pictures:
