Free Jane Austen Regency Fashion Costume Plates, Engravings, Paintings from late 1700- 1820's

Greetings and Welcome to everyone!
This post is in celebration of Jane Austen and the Regency Era. After a bit of searching I was able to come up with some fantastic images for you.  A few are perfect for framing, instant art to adorn your boudoir. Please enjoy them and hopefully they will find their way into your homes and projects. The fashion plates are a good reference for historic  period  clothing.Everyone wants a new gown for your next Jane Austen gathering!


The following two lovely portraits have elaborate hair styles from the period.


Along with "Pinkie" and "Blue Boy" and the one above,these pictures adorned a wall in our dining room when I was growing up.. Maybe that is why I am so attracted to them.The Huntington Library in So California was one of my favorite art museums.

Laundress needed! Think of all the linen and clothing a family with children would need!

 



I think this is a painting of Jane Austen as a child.




Learning to "fan"?

Off to church or an event in town.
The following pictures are from antique postcards.








Enjoy and have fun creating!
Love, Louise
