Framed Prints From Mary Evans
Framed Print of Preparing for a masked ball, 1800s
Preparations for a masquerade. We no longer see harlequins and pierrots at masked balls, but instead costumes of Switzerland and Normandy. Even in coarse fabrics and peasant bonnets, the ladies take pains to add diamond crosses or other jewels to distinguish themselves. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangeres Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817. Preparations for a masquerade.
