| Unidentified photographer/creator The American and French Fashions Contrasted 1851, October Magazine page Google Books LL/35183 The Water-Cure Journal (New York), Vol.XII, No.4, October, 1851, p.96.
We herewith present our readers with engraved views of the prevailing European and [proposed] American Fashions.
No. 1 represents Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, of Seneca Falls, N. Y. It was engraved from a Daguerreotype for the Cayuga Chief, an excellent newspaper published in Auburn, N. Y., and kindly loaned to us by Mr. Thurlow W. Brown, the gentlemanly proprietor.
No. 2 was copied by our own Engraver, from the Illustrated London News, and is an exact copy of the original, without variation; and is a perfect representation of the French Fashions, as worn in July last. We submit the two styles side by side, for the consideration of American Women.
