Wedding Dress
1839-1840
For her marriage to John A. Richardson on New Year's Day 1839, Susan Capen Everett of Boston, Massachusetts, was on the cutting edge of fashion. A dress very similar to hers, with a fringed neckline and sleeves had been illustrated in a fashion plate in the Petit Courrier des Dames only a month before. Susan must have brought the print straight to her dressmaker in order to have the dress ready in time for the wedding.

Eighteen-Forties Friday career day: who doesn't want to be un journaliste?
The Victoria & Albert Museum credits this picture to "after Paul Gavarni, Pauguet, and other artists," from a series of prints depicting characters and the costumes of different professions. Gavarni was known for gladly collaborating with other artists who wanted to work with him, although I'm not sure if he was involved with this particular piece. It appears to be signed "Lavieille" and "C. Lami" for the artist and engraver.
Even more mysterious: does the check pattern on those 1840s pants go all the way down?!
