La Parure Des Dames, 1re Collection des plus belles Coeffures Inventées depuis l'Année 1776

Title page of a set of 12 plates of men's and women's coiffures, containing four images of women's hairstyles. The hairstyles are presented inside four simple, rectangular frames, each containing an illustration of the upper body of a woman, wearing a fashionable dress of the 1770s, decorated with ruffles, ribbons and bows of different colors, which match the fancy hairstyle that adorns her head. The first hairstyle, titled "Le Chien Couchant ou le Mistere" (the Sleeping Dog, or Mystery), consists of large piece of light blue fabric with thin stripes, with ruffed edges, and with a pink ribbon decorated with brooches that wraps around it and falls behind the large hair of the woman. The second hairstyle, titled "Chapeau a la Henry IV" (Hat of Henry IV style), consists of a large hat of light green color, decorated with strips of white, ruffled fabric, yellow festoons separated by small, pink and yellow stylized flowers, and green leaves, and a bundle of large, green, pink and yellow feathers at the back of the hat. The third, "La Conquette assurée" (The assured conquest) is made up of a large, triangular-shaped hair style above the woman's forehead, with curls forming behind her head and neck, decorated with thin branches with green leaves, yellow and pink ribbons, held to the hair with small brooches, and large, yellow, pink, and green leaves. The final style, "le Nouveau Colisée" (The New Coliseum) is made up of a large coiffure built to the back of the woman's head, covered with a light green bonnet with ruffled edges and gray dots, decorated with a green ribbon and with two large feathers, one yellow and one pink.
