Antique French Fashion Illustrations – Musée des Familles by Laure Noël

A collection of antique French fashion illustrations by Laure Noël (1827–1878), associated with Musée des Familles, a French illustrated periodical published during the nineteenth century.

Laure Noël was the daughter of painter Alexandre-Marie Colin and part of a family of artists. Her sisters, Héloïse Suzanne Leloir-Colin and Adèle Anaïs Toudouze-Colin, were also painters and fashion illustrators.
