Many of these plates are from some of the leading French, British, American, and other continental fashion journals of the 19th century and early 20th century: Belle assemblée; Le bon ton; Le Follet, courrier des salons; Journal des dames and des modes; Godey's lady's book and magazine, and others. Blanche Payne taught historic costume and apparel design in the School of Home Economics at the University of Washington. One of her subsequent accomplishments, however, was the completion of a book entitled "History of Costume", a college textbook describing the evolution of fashion from 3000 B.C. to 1900. Blanche Payne retired from the University of Washington faculty in 1966. Plate 1: Empire period fashion. Plate 2: Georgian period fashion. Plate 3: Victorian period fashion.
